• Sommario/riassunto: This important addition to any petroleum engineer’s library covers all aspects of gas/oil phase behavior and includes a brief discussion of multiphase and vapor/solid phase behavior. Phase Behavior provides the reader with the tools needed to solve problems requiring a description of phase behavior and specific pressure/volume/temperature (PVT) properties. Also included are four appendices, including an overview of understanding laboratory oil PVT reports by M.B. Standing.
