When evaluating and developingplans for oil and gas fields, flash calculation, PVT analysis, and saturation-property calculation are necessaryfor analyzing reservoir characteristics and pipeline flows. In general, the determination of saturation propertiessuch as dew point and bubble point is considered a difficult task because of the poor convergence of thecalculation methods. In this study, several new initial-value-guessing methods and root-finding methods areproposed; parametric analysis were carried out to verify the improvement in convergence. Finally, these newideas and methods were successfully applied to the new GUI based multi-phase behavior simulator.
