This paper reports that a pseudocomponent method was developed to use fully compositional reservoir simulation results in the interpretation of separator gas samples. The interpretation provided insight into actual EOR performance by quantifying solvent breakthrough and production rates. Field examples of various reservoir mechanisms affecting the efficiency of Prudhoe Bay EOR are examined.
