Z factor is a dimensionless parameter used in natural gas reservoir engineering to account for the compressibility of natural gas. It is defined as the ratio of the actual gas volume to the volume that the gas would occupy at standard conditions (usually taken as 14.7 psia and 60°F or 15°C).
Z factor is a function of gas composition, pressure, and temperature. Typically, it is determined through experimental measurements or using equations of state, which are mathematical models that describe the behavior of gases at different conditions.
In reservoir engineering, z factor is important for calculating gas reserves and predicting gas production behavior. It is also used in designing gas transmission pipelines and gas processing plants.
In addition to natural gas, z factor is also used in other fields such as chemical engineering and thermodynamics to describe the behavior of gases and gas mixtures.
