Fluid Characterisation
Introduction
A matched black oil model can be used to determine the following oil, gas
and water properties:
1. wellbore related: phase proportions and volumes, densities,
viscosities, interfacial tension
2. reservoir related: fluid compressibilities, viscosities

The lightest straight chain liquids (i.e. C5 to C10) form the main
components of petrol or gasoline

Oil density can be determined at any pressure and temperature using the
following equation:
Gas-Condensate Applications
This is simply a gas which deposits liquids when the pressure is dropped
from initial reservoir conditions.
Liquid (condensate) dropout starts at the dew point, increases to a
maximum then decreases again.
This behaviour is called retrograde, hence the term retrograde gas-
condensate.
