This study presents experimental phase behavior data on two CO/sub 2/-reservoir oil systems at reservoir pressures and temperatures. The data include pressure-composition diagrams, with bubble points, dew points, and critical points; vapor-liquid equilibrium compositions and related K values: vapor and liquid densities, compared with values calculated by the Redlich-Kwong equation of state; vapor and liquid viscosities, compared with predictions by the Lohrenz-Bray-Clark correlation; and interfacial tensions for 6 vapor-liquid mixtures, compared with values calculated by the Weinaug-Katz parachor equation. These and previously published data contribute to development of the generalized correlations needed by reservoir and production engineers for evaluating, designing, and efficiently operating CO/sub 2/ injection projects.
