PROBLEMS
5.1 You are given a sample of gas condensate fluid with the following com-
position. The sample comes from a newly discovered gas reservoir
owned by the Good Petroleum Company. The dew point pressure was
measured in the PVT laboratory and found to be 3115 psia. In the
absence of laboratory data, dew point estimation models (correlations)
are usually available to estimate the dew point with varying accuracy.
These models are based on either knowledge of fluid composition or
