Abstract

The combination of fluid thermodynamics and rock physics that results in condensate dropout and condensate blockage is discussed. A gas condensate is a single-phase fluid at original reservoir conditions and it consists predominantly of methane and short-chain hydrocarbons, but it also contains long-chain hydrocarbons, termed heavy ends. Experts from Severgazprom, a part of the Gazrom Russian Joint Stock Company, and the VNIIGAZ and SeverNIPIgaz institutes conducted a variety of pilot projects in Vuktyl field to recover additional condensate. Chevron completed a study of five gas-condensate reservoirs that are at different stages of development to transfer best practices among various development teams.
