Abstract: Computerized PVT-modelling has been applied on several case examples to demonstrate how the basic PVT-properties (pressure, temperature and hydrocarbon component distribution) may be critical for the hydrocarbon phase relations in a trap (oil vs gas or condensates). The predictive force of PVT-tools in hydrocarbon exploration is tremendous. Hydrocarbon densities, phase relations, gas oil ratios, shrinkage, expansion factor etc. can be calculated with great certainty if provided with reliable input data. The multiple applications include general basin modelling, flash analysis, dew point analysis and boiling point analysis.
