Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is essential for extracting the large amounts of oil remaining in an oil reservoir after primary and secondary recoveries. Several methods of EOR are available and the use of each of these methods depends on the characteristics and properties of the oil and the reservoir. One of the most widely used EOR methods is gas injection, by immiscible or miscible means. For the miscible gas injection, it is important to define a property of the gas/oil system that is essential in planning a miscible gas injection, which is the Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP).
