| Description | The phase behavior and properties of all petroleum reservoir fluids are uniquely determined by four primary variables: pressure, temperature, chemistry, and the overall composition. In other words, the state of a reservoir fluid system is fully defined when these four variables are specified. In Figure 13.1 presented in Chapter 13, it was stated that the compositional analysis of reservoir fluids is an important component of the fluid chain in which one of the objectives is to create an initial compositional model of the fluid used in a variety of applications for hydrocarbon recovery. This particular compositional model is basically a description of the presence and concentration (composition) of various components in a given reservoir fluid and is handled by equations-of-state (EOS) models to simulate the phase behavior and physical properties required in various hydrocarbon recovery processes. Therefore, detailed and accurate compositional data, usually in terms of mol-%, are a prerequisite for generating reliable EOS-based predictions of phase behavior and physical properties of the reservoir fluids over a wide range of conditions. These predictions are then compared with experimentally determined phase behavior and physical properties, and if required, the EOS models are tuned or calibrated, which then become an integral part of compositional reservoir simulators.
