THERMODYNAMIC AND PHASE BEHAVIOR STUDY OF FLUID AND CLATHRATE HYDRATE FOR C02 RICH GAS MIXTURE

The rapid increase in demand and pnce of natural gas has put an enormous
pressure on the suppliers to ensure its availability in the market. This has created
incentives for the development of infrastructure to produce natural gas from gas
reservoirs rich in carbon dioxide (C02) content. Producing natural gas from these
reservoirs is challenging, economically unviable and requires further information
about the thermodynamic properties of the reservoir fluid, including its phase
behavior. Therefore, exploration and production from natural gas fields containing
high carbon dioxide up to 80% require accurate phase behavior data for classification
of the type of the gas, monitoring of flow in transportation pipelines and
determination of separation strategy of carbon dioxide from the natural gas.
