Fig. C01.8 • Reference composition phase envelope
The table on the right hand side displays the bubble point pressure as a function of
temperature for the reference composition while the plot shows the complete phase envelope
composed of the bubble points (yellow), direct dew points (green) and retrograde dew points
(red) for the same composition.
Note that by looking in this table, we see that this composition has a bubble point around 1400
psia for 265 degree Fahrenheit.

Reservoir geometrical description
We will now proceed to the definition of the reservoir shape by setting the number of layers
and their thickness. Click on the ‘Geometry’ button
available in the simulation page.
The ‘Reservoir-Geometry’ dialog appears. In this dialog, keep the number of layers to 1 and
set its thickness to 300 ft as follows. We will now slightly tilt the reservoir. Click on the type of
the top of ‘Layer 1’ and select ‘Data Set’ (instead of ‘Constant’):
