What is the difference between bubblepoint and dewpoint?

Both bubblepoint and dewpoint are saturation pressures for mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon components. At a given temperature, the condition occurs when an oil releases an infinitesimal bubble of gas from solution when pressure drops below the saturation pressure. This pressure called. . . more
