Petroleum Fluid Phase Behavior: Characterization, Processes, and Applications

This book covers the complex fluid characterization of oil and gas reservoirs, focusing on PVT parameters for practical application in reservoir simulation and management. It discusses modeling, QA/QC, EOS modeling, PVT simulation, compositional grading, and variation. It also covers data generation for reservoir engineering calculations with limited and unreliable data, and the behavior of unconventional reservoirs, particularly for difficult resources like shale gas, shale oil, coalbed methane, reservoirs, and heavy and extra heavy oils.

This comprehensive book delves into the intricate characterization of oil and gas reservoirs, placing significant emphasis on the role of PVT parameters in practical applications in reservoir simulation and management. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including modeling of PVT parameters, rigorous quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) of PVT data derived from laboratory studies, estimation of oil and gas properties using EOS models, simulation of PVT behavior, and compositional grading and variation. Furthermore, it explores the generation of data for reservoir engineering calculations, particularly in the face of limited and unreliable data sources, employing techniques such as downhole fluid analysis and photophysics of reservoir fluids. The book also sheds light on the behavior of unconventional reservoirs, particularly in the context of challenging resources like shale gas, shale oil, coalbed methane, reservoirs, heavy and extra heavy oils. By comprehensively addressing these aspects, the book provides valuable insights and methodologies for optimizing reservoir performance and enhancing oil and gas recovery.
