One of the EoS is proposed in this work. This EoS is obtained by matching the critical fugacity coefficient of the EoS to the critical fugacity coefficient of methane. Special attention is given to the supercritical behavior of methane as it is the major component of natural gas mixtures and almost always supercritical at reservoir and surface conditions. Compared to the other EoS, the proposed EoS more accurately predicts the compressibility factors and speeds of sound data for natural gas mixtures. The average absolute error was found to be 0.47% for predicting the compressibility factors and 0.7% for the speeds of sound data. The obtained EoS was also used to predict thermal and equilibrium properties. In predicting the bubble point pressure of liquefied natural gas (LNG) mixtures, the EoS is quite successful and shows significant accuracy when compared to the other EoS. For predicting some other properties of natural gas mixtures, for instance, isobaric heat capacity, Joule-Thomson coefficient and dew points, the predictive capability of the EoS is comparable to the ot
