A recent technique, the confocal scanning laser microscopy, allows for the accurate measuring of the bubble filling degree (F-v) of oil fluid inclusions as a function of the temperature [Pironon, J., Canals, M., Dubessy, J., Walgenwitz, F., Laplace-Builhe, C., 1998. Volumetric reconstruction of individual fluid inclusions by confocal scanning laser microscopy. Fur. J. Mineral. 10, 1143-1150]. These data, combined with measurements of homogenization temperature (T-h), give us new constraints for characterizing individually hydrocarbon fluid inclusions. For this purpose, a new modeling tool, PIT (Petroleum Inclusion Thermodynamic), based on applied thermodynamics of natural oils, has been constructed for interpreting volumetric (F-v) and microthermometric (T-h) measurements obtained on hydrocarbon fluid inclusions. The software allows us: (1) to reconstruct the paleo-thermobarometric trapping conditions of oils; (2) to model petroleum inclusion composition; and (3) to understand (F-v-T-h) differences among a population of fluid inclusions in terms of various pre- or post-trapping processes (inclusion stretching, oil mixing, liquid/vapor de-mixing, oil leaching by a gas, etc.).
