Over time, with the increase in population and the subsequent increase in energy consumption and also due to the non-renewability of fossil fuels, the study of alternative fuels has increased. One of these fuels is biodiesel, which is a suitable alternative to fossil fuels such as diesel and received much attention from researchers today. For this reason, measuring the physical properties of biodiesel is of great importance.

The calibration of reservoir models using production data can enhance the reliability of predictions. However, history matching often leads to only a few matched models, and the original geological interpretation is not always preserved. Therefore, there is a need for stochastic methodologies for history matching.

In gas-condensate reservoirs, liquid dropout occurs by reducing the pressure below the dew point pressure in the area near the wellbore. Estimation of production rate in these reservoirs is important. This goal is possible if the amount of viscosity of the liquids released below the dew point is available.
