| Reservoir Fluid | Process | Black Oil model | EOS (compositional model) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Oil (Missing Intermediate Components) | Primary Depletion/Waterflood | usual choice | possible but less likely |
| Gas Injector (Separator Gas) | well suited | possible but less likely | |
| Enriched Gas Injection | unsuitable or unlikely | usual choice | |
| Miscible Injection | unsuitable or unlikely | usual choice | |
| Volatile Oil | Primary Depletion/Waterflood | possible but less likely | usual choice |
| Gas Injector (Separator Gas) | unsuitable or unlikely | usual choice | |
| Enriched Gas Injection | unsuitable or unlikely | usual choice | |
| Miscible Injection | unsuitable or unlikely | usual choice | |
| Gas Condensate | Depletion (Blowdown) | unsuitable or unlikely | usual choice |
| Gas Recycle (above Dew Point) | unsuitable or unlikely | usual choice | |
| Gas Recycle (below Dew Point) | unsuitable or unlikely | usual choice | |
| Wet Gas | Depletion | possible but less likely | well suited |
| Dry Gas | Depletion | well suited | unsuitable or unlikely |
