This study develops a robust model for PVT analysis to enhance the characterization of reservoir fluids and improve reservoir management. The study employed regression analysis, Decision Tree Regressor, and a comparative Neural Network approach to evaluate relationships between critical parameters such as gas-oil ratio (GOR), reservoir temperature, gas specific gravity, oil gravity, and the oil formation volume factor (OFVF). Findings revealed complex non-linear correlations, with gas specific gravity and bubble point pressure emerging as the most influential predictors. The Decision Tree Regressor achieved high accuracy (R² = 96.44%), while the Neural Network provided comparable performance. An expanded error analysis, numerical example, and discussion on reservoir stabilization are presented. The study underscores the significance of high-quality reservoir fluid sampling and data interpretation, emphasizing representative data to reduce uncertainties in modeling. Comparative tables and enriched references position this work as an original contribution bridging machine learning and petroleum engineering.</jats:p></jats:abstract><publication_date media_type="online"><month>9</month><day>15</day><year>2025</year></publication_date><publication_date media_type="print"><month>9</month><day>15</day><year>2025</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>99</first_page><last_page>111</last_page></pages><publisher_item><item_number item_number_type="article_number">11</item_number></publisher_item><ai:program xmlns:ai="http://www.crossref.org/AccessIndicators.xsd" name="AccessIndicators"><ai:free_to_read start_date="2025-09-15" /><ai:license_ref applies_to="am" start_date="2025-09-15">https://wseas.com/journals/ew/2025/a22engw-010(2025).pdf</ai:license_ref></ai:program><archive_locations><archive name="Portico" /></archive_locations><doi_data><doi>10.37394/232025.2025.7.11</doi><resource>https://wseas.com/journals/ew/2025/a22engw-010(2025).pdf</resource></doi_data><citation_list><citation key="ref0"><doi>10.1007/s00397-005-0051-5</doi><unstructured_citation>Martín-Alfonso, M.
