Essential part of PVT analysis responsible for predicting  dynamic fluid properties at various temperature and pressure based on the laboratory tests of available fluid samples.

The fluids may vary from simple (like water) to multi-component and multi-phase (like saturated oil) and assumed to be in chemical, thermal and hydrodynamic equilibrium.


Below is the list of the most popular PVT models:
