The gas compressibility factor as an essential thermodynamic parameter is often used to analyze PVT phase behavior in natural gas industry. To accurately predicate it for different gas condensate samples, a data base containing 916 data sets covering a wide range of experimental conditions is employed to establish and test the thermodynamic prediction model based on a three-parameter cubic equation of sate (EoS). The presented model which based on a modified PT EoS combines with Elliot-Daubert binary interaction coefficients correlation, two-parameter plus fraction splitting model and Hosseinifar-Jamshidi characterization method outperforms conventional empirical correlations with three mixing rules. Statistical error analysis shows that it is superior to ten empirical correlations with average absolute relative errors of 1.45% and coefficient of determination of 0.989. The proposed thermodymic model is efficient and practical for predicting the compressibility factor for various gas condensates.
