body--uriencoded--\rho_g%5e%7B\circ%7D

fluid density at surface reference conditions

LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--V_m%5e%7B\circ%7D

molar volume at surface at reference conditions

LaTeX Math Inline
body\rho_g

fluid density at reservoir conditions

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyV_m

molar volume at reservoir conditions


The reference conditions may vary from case to case but most popular choice are: Separator, Stock Tank and SPE STP.

It can be expressed through the Z-factor as:

LaTeX Math Block
anchorXALSKBgRef
alignmentleft
B_g(p,T) = Z(p, T) \cdot \frac{T/T_T^{\rm refcirc}}{p/p_p^{\rm refcirc}}

where

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyT

reservoir temperature

LaTeX Math Inline
