Quality Assessment and Consistency Evaluation of Hydrocarbon PVT Data

Hydrocarbon PVT data are used for a wide range of reservoir engineering applications including early volumetric assessment,<br>well test evaluation, material balance calculations, and equation of state fluid characterization. High quality, accurate PVT<br>data can reduce uncertainty in reservoir fluid properties, provide a sound foundation for reservoir engineering studies, and<br>improve investment efficiency. Poor quality PVT data can result in lost time due to rework and additional studies, inadequate<br>or overly aggressive development plans, and inefficient investment.
