Abstract

Disclosed is a method for estimating properties of a multi-component fluid (10) using pseudocomponents. The fluid (10) is characterized using a set of base components and a set of fluid compositions is defined that corresponds to fluid compositions expected to occur in computations of interest. Pseudocomponents are defined to represent the multi-component fluid (10) by (i) defining an ordered set of vectors corresponding to a characteristic of the base components, each vector containing one entry for each base component, the first vector being most representative of the set of compositions according to a predetermined criterion and each vector thereafter in the set being less representative of the set of compositions than the vector before it, and (ii) selecting a subset of the ordered set that comprises the first vector and a predetermined number of vectors immediately thereafter, the subset of vectors corresponding to a pseudocomponent characterization of the multi-component fluid (10).
