Miscible gas injection is generally used as one of the most efficient methods in the enhanced oil recovery. Minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is an important parameter in the miscible gas injection projects, since local displacement efficiency in the reservoir media is highly dependent on the MMP. Therefore, an appropriate estimation of MMP would bring significant economic benefits. This paper presents a comparative study on five representative equations of state (EoSs) for predicting MMP using Parachor model together with the criterion of zero interfacial tension (IFT) at the miscibility conditions. The predicted MMP values are compared with the experimental data obtained from the most reliable measurement technique, so called slim tube method. Such a prediction would enables us to judge the accuracy of the results obtained from different equations of state as well as the capability of Parachor model to calculate the MMP. The results of predictions obtained for five oil-gas systems in this study reveal reliable MMP values within 5% of accuracy. (C) 2010 The Institution of Chemical Engineers. Published by Elsevier B.V.
