This research illustrates the utilization of a new model based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) in prediction of compressibility factor (z-factor) of natural gases using experimental data based on Standing and Katz z-factor diagram. Although equations of state and empirical correlations have been applied for predicting compressibility factor, the demands for the modern, more reliable and easy-to-use models encouraged the researchers to recommend modern facilities such as intelligent systems. This investigation describes a new technique for computing z-factor of natural gases. The base of the approach is ANN in which a 2:5:5:1 structure is used as an optimum network to predict the z-factor. The statistical results show that the developed ANN is an excellent tool for estimating z-factor values; therefore, it can be confidently used for natural gases with various compositions at a specific temperature and pressure.
