The increasing consumption of global oils has led to the necessity of pursuing and recovering unconventional resources such as ultradeep reservoirs beneath the deep sea. High-pressure density data are one of the critical fundamental properties for the design and optimization of the processes related to safe exploration, recovery and purification of such oils in sedimentary basins approximately 6100 meters or more underground, at which the temperature and pressure can reach 523 K and 240 MPa, respectively. The significant effects of high pressure density data have been clearly stated in a recent report from National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) of Department of Energy (DOE) [1]. The NETL report also stated....
