About the Book
PVT Property Correlation: Selection and Estimation helps engineers target their correlations based on an expert system.
This reference presents several techniques that will allow engineers to select the best PVT correlation,
especially when encountering limited reservoir fluid data and conditions. Tested against a large database,
these techniques cover different types of fluids, including recent techniques using neural networks.
Complimentary software that checks the input reservoir parameters for selecting the most appropriate
correlation and a PVT calculator to predict oil properties over a wide range of input data is included.
