Effective “Vaporizer” for Recovering Retrograde Hydrocarbon Condensate from a Gas-Condensate Reservoir

Simulation Study of Enhanced Condensate Recovery in a Gas-Condensate Reservoir

Modeling Critical Flow through Choke for a Gas-condensate Reservoir Based on Drill Stem Test Data

Gas-condensate reservoirs contain hydrocarbon fluids with characteristics between oil and gas reservoirs and a high gas-liquid ratio. Due to the large gas-liquid ratio, wellhead choke calculations using the empirical equations such as Gilbert may contain considerable error. In this study, using drill stem test (DST) data of a gas-condensate reservoir, coefficients of Gilbert equation was modifi...

Integrated Characterization and a Tuning Strategy for the PVT Analysis of Representative Fluids in a Gas Condensate Reservoir

Gas condensate reservoirs are characterized by a distinctive retrograde behavior and potential for condensate drop out during production and sampling. Efficient modeling of gas condensate reservoir requires careful phase behavior studies of samples collected prior to and during the production life of reservoir. In this work, an integrated characterization and tuning algorithm is proposed to ana...

Modeling and Optimization of the Rich Gas-Condensate Reservoir

A composition stream from reservoir to the market has been obtained as a result of upstream, midstream and downstream retrograde gas-condensate models integration. Applications are composition, Peng-Robinson EOS has been chosen as a fluid package. Different production scenarios were observed to define development strategy for rich gas condensate production. VGD and C/V gas drive mechanisms have...

Experimental and Simulation Constructing of Phase Diagram and Quality Lines for a Lean Gas Condensate Reservoir Fluid

Constructing phase diagram and its subsequent quality lines for lean gas condensate reservoirs is always crucial and challenging topic in reservoir fluid studies. Due to small amounts of liquid drop-outs in lean gas condensates at reservoir conditions, full experimental tracking of phase diagram and its relevant quality lines is almost impossible for lean gas condensates.On the other hand, ...
