Saturated Oil Density (ρo,s)
The oil density at the bubble point is an important thermodynamic property required in reservoir simulation and production engineering.
At pressures below the bubble-point pressure and with reduction in pressure, gas comes out of solution. This gas release accounts for the reversal in the density versus pressure trend below the bubble-point pressure.
