Fluid Phase Behavior for Conventional and Unconventional Oil and Gas Reservoirs

Understanding the properties of a reservoir’s fluids and creating a successful model based on lab data and calculation are required for every reservoir engineer in oil and gas today, and with reservoirs becoming more complex and unconventional, engineers and managers have to reconfigure the rules of thumb for reservoir engineering. Fluid Phase Behavior for Conventional and Unconventional Oil and Gas Reservoirs delivers information on the role of PVT (pressure-volume-temperature) tests/data in various aspects, in particular reserve estimation, reservoir modelling, flow assurance, and enhanced oil recovery for both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. This must-have reference also prepares engineers on the importance of PVT tests, how to evaluate the data, develop an effective management plan for flow assurance, and gain perspective of flow characterization, with particular focus on shale oil, shale gas, gas hydrates, and tight oil making Fluid Phase Behavior for Conventional and Unconventional Oil and Gas Reservoirs critical for today’s reservoir engineer to effectively manage and maximize the company’s oil and gas reservoir assets.
