A Comparative Study of Compositional Grading Models in Petroleum Reservoirs
Composition of petroleum can vary within a reservoir fluid system, and this variation is critically important to be modeled. In this work, different compositional grading models are compared to predict compositional changes in a reservoir with measured data. The goal is seeking the model that best describes these changes in composition of the reservoir fluid.
