We address the problem of a non-equilibrium segregation of hydrocarbon mixtures in petroleum reservoirs. Different approaches to segregation are discussed. We derive an asymptotic equation (AE) for locating the GOC, which can be used in order to simplify the computational procedure and to analyze the effect of thermodiffusion on the GOC location. Several text calculations show a good accuracy of the AE and a significant effect of the thermal effects on the fluid distribution.
