The Esmaeilzadeh-Roshanfekr (ER) equation of state (EOS) is used to predict the PVT properties of gas condensate reservoir fluids. Three gas condensate fluid samples taken from three wells in a real field in Iran, referred here as SA1, SA4 and SA8, as well as five samples from literature have been used to check the validity of the ER EOS in calculating the PVT properties of gas condensate mixtures. Some experiments such as constant composition expansion (CCE), constant volume depletion (CVD) and dew point pressures are carried out on these samples. In order to have an unbiased comparison between the ER and the Peng-Robinson (PR) equation of state, van der Waals mixing rules are used without using any adjustable parameters (k(ij) = 0). Also, no pure component parameters are adjusted. The critical properties and acentric factor for plus-fraction are estimated by the Kesler-Lee, Pedersen et al. and Riazi-Daubert characterization methods. The results of dew point pressure calculations show that the ER EOS has smaller error than the PR EOS. For some mixtures, relative volume, gas compressibility factor and condensate drop-out in CVD and CCE test were also predicted. Comparison results between experimental and calculated data indicate that the ER EOS has smaller error than the PR EOS. The total average absolute deviation was found to be 0.82% and 2.97% for calculating gas compressibility factor and gas specific gravity in CVD test. Also, the total average absolute deviation was found to be 2.06% and 3.42% for calculating gas compressibility factor and relative volume in CCE test. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
