Bubblepoint petroleum
(OP)
I am interested in learning a little more than I can find about petroleum bubblepoint.
One of my questions would be if gasses instantly bubble out of solution with a release in pressure or is a catalist required? any info or material appreciated.

No catalyst required.
Think of water and steam. This is like superheated water - i.e. water at say 150C, but at a significant pressure. Drop the pressure - it boils. Petroleum is basically the same thing.

this isn't what I would call a catylst, more of a surface reaction causing precipitation of bubbles in a system where the gas is very close to the vapour pressure. - see http://mentalfloss.com/article/48759/why-do-diet-c....
however the better analogy is to shake up the bottle, let the foam subside - you still have mostly liquid. Open the top and the gas comes out of the liquid very quickly..... you end up with not much liquid.
Get petroleum at it's bubble point at some elevated pressure, then release the pressure - same sort of thing. For petroleum some of the liquid will actually change phase to gas (ethane, butane, propane etc) if the pressure is low enough.
