Abstract
The program is designed to provide estimates of physical properties of reservoir fluids (hydrocarbons) as a function of pressure based on the published empirical correlations. Most of the desired properties can be correlated as functions of pressure, temperature, oil gravity, and gas gravity. The program provides quick and reliable answers with no need for a time-consuming and tedious process of reading graphs, monograms, or charts and tables.
