Calculating PVT properties

This is an example of calculating PVT properties. The specific correlations that should be used for a
specific crude oil or reservoir may vary, as discussed in the referenced pages focusing on specific
properties.
Determine the PVT properties for a United States midcontinental crude oil and natural gas system with
properties listed inTable 1. Table 2 lists the correlations to be used. Measured data are provided for
comparison with the calculated results. For correlations that rely on other correlations, these data illustrate
the effects of error propagation in the calculations
