Description
Summary:Experimental evidence regarding the degree of saturation of natural gas is presented. The experimental method is outlined and the problems are mentioned. Methane solubility data are presented. It is pointed out that the solubility of methane in saline waters, containing 11 to 14% total dissolved solids, is reduced by 30 to 50% over that which it would have had in pure water at reservoir conditions.
