Abstract

This paper describes a practical application of thermodynamic modeling that indicated that the PVT properties of the reservoir fluid in the Birba field were strongly depth-dependent, explaining the presence of significantly undersaturated oil only 200 m (655 ft) below a gas cap. Field tests confirmed the thermodynamic model to be correct. Furthermore, this paper discusses the options for field development, including the consideration of possible benefits of (developed) miscibility when gas is injected.
