Petroleum Reservoir that reside in reservoirs with the original temperatures lying between the pseudo-critical temperature
T_{pc} and the Cricondentherm
T_{\rm max}.
Natural Gas Reservoir with initial formation temperature
T_i lying between the pseudo-critical temperature
T_{pc} and the Cricondentherm
T_{c, \rm max}, which initially stays gaseuous (outside Vapour Liquid Envelope) and builds condensate at separator (inside Vapour Liquid Envelope, see Fig. 1).
