Problem Statement:
A gas reservoir has the following gas composition: the initial reservoir pressure and temperature
are 3000 pisa and 180°F, respectively. Calculate the apparent molecular weight, specific gravity,
pseudo-critical parameters and pseudo reduced parameters of the gas?

Solution:
Reservoir Pressure = 3000psia

Reservoir Temperature = 180 0F

Now; Reservoir temperature converts (oF) to (oR),

o
R = oF + 460

Reservoir temperature = 180+460 = 640oR

Now; Critical pressure convert (Psig) to (Psia)

Mg = 22.84 Tpc = 409.73 Ppc = 660.25

Specific Gravity = Mg/Ma = 22.84/29 = 0.787586207

Pseudo-reduced critical Temperature = Tpr = T/Tpc = 640/409.73 = 1.562004247

Pseudo-reduced critical Pressure = Ppr = P/Ppc = 3000/660.25 = 4.543733434
