This document discusses reservoir fluid properties important for reservoir engineering processes. It outlines several lab procedures used to determine properties of oil and gas in reservoirs, including: 1) Flash liberation and differential liberation tests to determine properties like bubble point pressure, formation volume factor, and solution gas-oil ratio. 2) Separator tests conducted at different temperature and pressure combinations to optimize API gravity and properties like formation volume factor and solution gas-oil ratio. 3) Compositional measurements to analyze the compositions of oil and gas. The properties determined are used in material balance calculations and reservoir modeling.
