Question 551 Advanced Phase behaviour
Assignment No.1 Characterization of reservoir fluids.
Given the following reservoir fluid compositions:
i- Based on the total molecular weight and composition classify the type of reservoir fluid.
ii- Given the fluid composition construct the phase diagram using commercial software. How do
you classify the type of reservoir fluid based on the phase diagram?
