Separator pressure (psi)

Occasionally to determine a full well stream, the conversion of condensate to its equivalent gas volume is
required.
The curves can be used to estimate this volume for each barrel of stock tank condensate from separator
pressure and gravity of stock tank condensate.
Flash evaporation losses of gas may be estimated by the difference between equivalent volumes at
separator pressure and at final pressure.
