This work discusses Yellig and Metcalfe's previous work on the determination and prediction of CO/sub 2/ minimum miscibility pressures (J. Petrol. Technol., Jan 1980 (Pa 274,557)). Improvements in the techniques for determining minimum miscibility pressure in laboratory slim-tube experiments are offered. Data from investigation of several different crude oils are included. The conclusion is that any such prediction technique must take oil composition into consideration, and that this composition must be related to CO/sub 2/ density and minimum miscibility pressure in practices.
