The document discusses reservoir fluid studies and properties of black oils. It covers:
1) Fluid properties of interest to reservoir engineers like those affecting fluid mobility and used in material balance calculations.
2) PVT properties determined from five lab procedures including flash liberation tests, differential liberation tests, viscosity measurements, and compositional measurements.
3) Properties determined including bubble point pressure, formation volume factor, solution gas-oil ratio, gas and oil compositions.

Lecture # 17 Chapter 10 Properties of Black Oils - Reservoir Fluid Studies
Fluid Properties for Reservoir
Engineering Processes The fluid properties of interest to the Reservoir Engineer are those that affect the mobility of fluids within the reservoirs these are used in material balance calculations Properties at surface conditions for transportation and sales (API, viscosity, oil quality)
Fluid Properties for Reservoir
Engineering Processes PVT properties are determined from 5 specific lab procedures
