  the total fluid compressibility isis a linear sum of its single-phase components:

The total multiphase volume:

V = \sum V_\alpha


where

bodyV_\alpha
are volumes, occupied by individual phases.


The volume fraction of individual phase is defined as:

alignmentleft
s_\alpha = \frac{V_\alpha}{V}


This leads to:

LaTeX Math Block

alignmentleft
c_f = \frac{1}{V} \, \frac{\partial V}{\partial p} = 
\frac{1}{V} \sum_\alpha \frac{\partial V_\alpha}{\partial p} = 
 \sum_\alpha \frac{V_\alpha}{V} \, \frac{1}{V_\alpha} \frac{\partial V_\alpha}{\partial p} =
 \sum_\alpha s_\alpha \, c_\alpha




In most In ,ost popular practical case of 3-phase fluid model this will be: 

LaTeX Math Block

c_f = cs_w \, sc_w + cs_o \, sc_o + cs_g \, sc_g

where

body\{ w, \, o, \, g \}
 mean water phase, oil phase and gas phase.
