Bottomhole sampling is preferred for oils if the reservoir is
undersaturated (that is, the initial pressure is higher than the
bubblepoint pressure). conditions for liquid yield, and characterizaton of an EOS for
Standard PVT experiments include compositional gas compositional simulation. Differential liberation and constant
chromatography (GC) analysis through heptanes-plus (C 7.),
volume depletion experiments are designed to provide
constant compositon expansion, differential liberation
quantitative information about the volurnetric behavior of oil
expansion, constant volume depletion, and multistage surface
separation. Other PVT measurements include true boiling and gas condensate reservoirs during pressure depletion. The
point (TBP) distillation of the C7 material and multicontact multistage separator test is used together with differential
gas injection experiments. Table 3 summarizes these liberation and constant volume depletion data to calculate
experiments, indicating when they are performed and on black oil properties R,, B0 , Bg, and r,. Multicontact gas

Compositional analyses are used to describe the reservoir compositional data that can be used to "tune" a~ equation of
fluid makeup on a component basis, including calculation of state (or altemative) model for simulation of gas injection
