Zee Algorithm

The document contains a mathematical formula for calculating the compressibility factor (Z-factor) of a gas based on its pressure, temperature, and specific gravity. It uses the Dranchuk and Abu-Kassem correlation which involves iterating calculations of the Z-factor using coefficients related to the reduced pressure and temperature until the calculated and assumed values converge within a tolerance.
