Petroleum doesn’t behave the same way everywhere—it can exist as a liquid or a gas in the reservoir and change phases on its journey to the surface. Understanding these behaviors is fundamental to petroleum chemistry and engineering.

The long-awaited third edition of The Properties of Petroleum Fluids by William D. McCain expands this classic reference with updated and extended coverage of petroleum composition and behavior. New chapters address petroleum gas condensates and volatile oils, while the discussion of oilfield waters has been significantly expanded. Complex concepts like phase behavior are presented in a clear, approachable way.

Equally valuable for students and practicing engineers, this edition serves as both a learning foundation and a dependable technical reference.
