This book discusses hydrocarbon fluid characteristics and how to evaluate and predict them. Its comprehensive coverage of the different properties of oils and gases promotes more efficient methods and designs for oil and gas exploration and production. The book shows how to use mathematical models to accurately predict transport and thermodynamic properties and surface tensions of naturally occurring oil and gas mixtures. In sixteen chapters, the authors present descriptions of individual oils and gases, discuss how to choose an equation of state, and compare measured and predicted properties. The final chapters of the book deal with practical application of the models to situations in pipeline maintenance and oil recovery processes.
