Abstract

One of the most important enhanced oil recoveries methods is miscible displacement. During this method preferably access to the conditions of miscibility to improve the extraction process and the most important factor in these conditions is miscibility pressure. This study focused on establishing a suitable correlation to calculate the minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) required for injecting hydrocarbon gases into southern Iraq oil reservoir. MMPs were estimated for thirty oil samples from southern Iraqi oil fields by using modified Peng and Robinson equation of state. The obtained PVT reports properties were used for tunning the equation of state parameters by making a match between the equation of state results with experimental PVT data. The values ​​of the MMPs inputs into the statistical program to find a correlation for the value of miscibility pressure with the properties and composition of the reservoir oil and injected gas. Using a nonlinear formula, a good correlation was obtained. When comparing the present correlation with the many measured data, a superbly result of present correlation was obtained
