Abstract
Over time, various non-experimental approaches have been developed for predicting the MMP in a fast, reliable, easy-to-use, and inexpensive manner. Some recent approaches are presented below, wherein their capabilities and limitations for accurately determining the MMP for a variety of CO2-reservoir oil systems are also presented and discussed.
