A thermodynamic description of methane and  ethane sorption by asphaltenes from petroleum gas condensate is proposed. Experimental  data demonstrate that the major part of gases is dissolved in asphaltenes. The  accounting of this effect suggests the
averaged equation of state for sorbed gas  identical by shape to the Vant-Hoff equation for diluted solutions. The  developed approach that utilizes the analogy to gas dissolution in liquids  leads to an efficient thermodynamic method for calculation of natural gas components  sorption by asphaltenes at supercritical temperatures and pressures corresponding  to the conditions of real exploitation of gas deposits.
