Escobar Remolina Carlos-Alberto Coronado Parra Ingeniería gas injection phase behavior critical region retrograde region equation of state (EOS) In recent years, the use of nitrogen has increased as gas injection to recover oil fluids near the criticalpoint. The behavior of hydrocarbon mixture phases in the critical region shows very interesting complexphenomena when facing a recovery project with nitrogen. Therefore, it is important to have experimentalinformation of the PVTx thermodynamic variable, often scarce, for this type of critical phenomena.This paper reports the experimental measures of the volumetric behavior and phases of synthetic fluid in anitrogen injection process. The experiment was performed at laboratory scale, and it obtained variations onthe saturation pressure, gas oil ratio, density and composition of the hydrocarbon phase when nitrogen wasinjected at molars of 10, 20, 30 and 40% on different volumetric portions of the mother sample.
