Abstract

Abstract Vapour-liquid equilibrium K-values for in-situ reservoir fluids are predicted from experimental data and/or correlations. In either case, "perfect" K-values for reservoir calculations are unattainable. Further, the given reservoir fluid compositions may be in error. How do these errors in K-values and compositions affect the results of computations? The question is not simple because it has many answers, depending on the type of computation, the composition and the conditions. To answer the question, saturation pressure, flash and solubility computations were performed for black oil, volatile oil and gas condensate reservoir fluids. Computations were performed with the various arbitrary "errors" that occur. The magnitude of the effect of these errors can then be defined.
