New empirical PVT correlations for estimating bubblepoint pressure, solution gas-oil ratio, bubblepoint oil formation volume factor and undersaturated isothermal oil compressibility have been developed as a function of commonly available field data.

Results show that these PVT properties can be predicted with average absolute errors ranging from 0.64% for bubblepoint oil formation volume factor to 6.66% for undersaturated isothermal oil compressibility.
