Calculations of reservoir performance for petroleum reservoirs require accurate
knowledge of the volumetric behavior of hydrocarbon mixtures, both liquid
and gaseous. Coefficient of Isothermal oil compressibility is a measure of
the fractional change in volume with respect to pressure at constant temperature.
Coefficients of isothermal oil compressibility are usually obtained from
reservoir fluid analysis. Reservoir fluid analysis is an expensive and time consuming
operation that is not always available when the volumetric properties
of reservoir fluids are needed. For this reason...
