Question: Question 1 Experimental data on a bottom hole sample of reservoir liquid taken from an unknow oil field to determine the solution gas and FVF

Question 1
Experimental data on a bottom hole sample of reservoir liquid taken from an unknow oil field to determine the solution gas and FVF as functions of pressure. The initial pressure and temperature of the reservoir was 3600 psia and 160F respectively. All the measurements were taken at 160F. The results are:
\table[[Pressure (psia),\table[[Solution Gas (SCF/STB) at],[14.7psia and 60F]],\table[[Formation Volume],[Factor (bbl/STB)]]],[,,],[3600,567,1.310],[3200,567,1.317],[2800,567,1.325],[2500,567,1.333],[2400,554,1.310],[1800,436,1.263],[1200,337,1.210],[600,223,1.140],[200,143,1.070],[,,]]
(a) Plot the gas in solution vs pressure
(b) What factors affect the solubility of gas in crude oil?
(c) Was the reservoir initially saturated or undersaturated? Explain.
(d) Does the reservoir have an initial gas cap?
