    Since the discovery of the Pre-Salt layer in Brazilian waters, production of high gas–oil ratio (GOR) has increased considerably. This gas has a high content of water, CO<sub>2</sub>, and sometimes H<sub>2</sub>S. A study in different conditions was conducted using several equations of state (EoS) such as Peng–Robinson, GERG-modified Peng–Robinson (PR-ISO-04), Soave–Redlich–Kwong, and Cubic Plus Association (CPA). Petrobras’ Process Simulator has been used to perform the phase equilibrium calculations. All the EoS except for CPA used parameters from the literature. A new parameter estimation procedure for CPA has been proposed using a particle swarm optimization algorithm followed by the SIMPLEX method presenting themselves together as an optimal approach. The results show that PR-ISO-04 can be considered to be an improvement compared to the original Peng–Robinson but CPA appears to be the most promising approach to be used for predicting dew points for water-containing mixtures, especially at high pressures
