Dynamic IFT, BN and swelling/extraction are measured as a function of pressure at temperatures of 30, 50 and 80 ℃. In addition, in the light of measured IFT the minimum miscibility pressure （MMP） of CO2 and light crude oil is determined based on a method called vanishing inteffacial tension （VIT）. The obtained results interestingly revealed that equilibrium IFT decreases linearly with pressure in two distinct pressure intervals while equilibrium BN shows an increasing trend as a function of pressure for all of the studied cases while no obvious trend is observed for swell- ing of crude oil and extraction of light-components regarding time, temperature and pressure.展开更多
