Abstract

An apparatus to measure phase equilibria under pressure is described. The composition of the gas phase was determined using a high pressure, high temperature sampling cell. We have found that compressed natural gas is a very good solvent of hydrocarbons. A possible application of this study is the understanding of processes which lead to migration of oil and the location of oil and gas fields.
