Phase Behavior of Petroleum Reservoir Fluids (PDF)

Karen Schou Pedersen earned a PhD in liquid physics at the Technical University of Denmark. Her work with liquids at a fundamental level continued in positions as a research associate at the University of Edinburgh and at the nuclear research center Institute Laue-Langevin, Grenoble, France. She founded Calsep A/S in 1982, worked for Calsep as a senior principal consultant until 2022, and was responsible for software development and projects within reservoir fluid modeling and flow assurance. She is the author of more than 60 publications on the phase behavior of oil and gas mixtures. Her current position is Senior Principal Consultant at Kapexy Aps, a company specializing in reservoir fluid modeling.

Peter Lindskou Christensen earned a PhD at the Technical University of Denmark. In the 1980s, he was employed at Risø National Laboratories in Denmark, where he was responsible for PVT modeling for use in reservoir simulation studies. For a 10-year period in the 1990s, he was an associate professor at the Technical University of Denmark and taught thermodynamics, unit operations, and oil and gas technology. After leaving the university, he became a senior principal consultant at Calsep A/S, where he developed new techniques for matching experimental PVT data and was engaged in several fluid modeling projects. Peter is today a senior consultant at Kapexy Aps.
