Constant composition expansion is a phenomenon where oil and gas reservoirs experience an increase in volume as hydrocarbons are produced. As lighter components such as natural gas are removed during production, the fluid composition in the reservoir remains constant which causes the volume of the remaining fluid to increase and expand into the space formerly occupied by produced hydrocarbons. This expansion can help maintain reservoir pressure during production if the added volume of fluid is sufficient to fill the space created by removed hydrocarbons.
