The growing use of integrated production models (IPM) in the oil industry as a solution to represent the potential of a field is justified by the current scenarios found for the development of new projects, characterized by low oil prices and high complexity production concepts. This approach, where different parts of a production system are integrated, allows the user to have a detailed understanding of the interactions between reservoir, wells and gathering system, and facilitates the detection of bottlenecks and consequently the optimization of the exploitation plan. In this context, it is essential to obtain a satisfactory fluid model in the entire production system. The model must honor both the flow in the porous media, isothermal, and the flow in the wells and pipelines, which must be characterized at various temperatures. In addition, the model must have adequate simulation time. A rigorous way to model the properties of a fluid is by adjusting an equation of state (EOS). A detailed EOS with 24 components determined by gas chromatography and simplified EOS with 14, 9, 7, 6, 5 and 4 pseudocomponents were generated to evaluate this problem. The EOS were used to represent the PVT properties in a IPM and the responses of the simplified and detailed EOS were compared, in order to establish an adequate results with an adequate computational time. The results obtained show that the use of excessively simplified EOS, despite the improvement in computational time, can generate unsatisfactory results in integrated production models.
