A program of laboratory research was undertaken to study and develop fluid relationships which were used in the reservoir simulation of miscible and immiscible processes in steeply dipping reservoirs. The investigations focused on the development of three phase relative permeability relationships, defining minimum miscibility pressures for various injectants, defining critical velocities of gas front movement in gravity stable miscible displacement processes, and determination of the impact of the use of various injectant gases in miscible and immiscible processes. This paper contains the executive summary, an introduction to the project, an explanation of the laboratory analysis, and recommendations. Details can be found in Part 2
