Gas Recovery

The object of research is gas condensate reservoirs, which is being developed under the conditions of the manifestation of the water drive of development and the negative effect of formation water on the process of natural gas production. The results of the performed theoretical and experimental studies show that a promising direction for increasing hydrocarbon recovery from fields at the final stage of development is the displacement of natural gas to producing wells by injection non-hydrocarbon gases into productive reservoirs. The final gas recovery factor according to the results of laboratory studies in the case of injection of non-hydrocarbon gases into productive reservoirs depends on the type of displacing agent and the level heterogeneity of reservoir. With the purpose update the existing technologies for the development of fields in conditions of the showing of water drive, the technology of injection carbon dioxide into productive reservoirs at the boundary of the gas-water contact was studied using a digital three-dimensional model of a gas condensate deposit. The study was carried out for various values of the rate of natural gas production. The production well rate for calculations is taken at the level of 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 thousand m3/day. Based on the data obtained, it has been established that an increase in the rate of natural gas production has a positive effect on the development of a productive reservoir and leads to an increase in the gas recovery factor. Based on the results of statistical processing of the calculated data, the optimal value of the rate of natural gas production was determined when carbon dioxide is injected into the productive reservoir at the boundary of the gas-water contact is 55.93 thousand m3/day. The final gas recovery factor for the optimal natural gas production rate is 64.99 %. The results of the studies carried out indicate the technological efficiency of injecting carbon dioxide into productive reservoirs at the boundary of the gas-water contact in order to slow down the movement of formation water into productive reservoirs and increase the final gas recovery factor.

The paper studies the effect of carbon dioxide on the phase transitions within gas-condensate systems and defines its role on the evaporation of retrograde condensate isolated in formation due to the decreasing pressure during development process. Based on the experiments carried out by special methodology in рVT bomb, the essence of various impact of carbon dioxide amount in the content of gas-condensate mixture on the physico-chemical and thermo-dynamic parameters of the system depending on the temperature interval revealed. As a result of experiments, it was defined that the increase of carbon dioxide within gas-condensate mixture raises the content of dispersed condensate in gas phase. Moreover, the increase of CO2 in gas phase leads to the growth of gas amount dissolved in a unit volume of condensate as well. It is shown that the effect of carbon dioxide on the pressure of retrograde condensation within gas-condensate system cannot be definitely estimated. The pressure of retrograde condensation within such mixtures may be different in various temperature diapasons due to the change of the features and critical parameters of the system.

Abstract In retrograde gas condensate reservoirs, condensate blockage is a major reservoir damage problem, where liquid is dropped-out of natural gas, below dew-point pressure. Despite that most of this liquid will not produce due to not reaching the critical saturation, natural gas will be blocked by the accumulated liquid and will also not produce. This work investigates the effects of gas injection (such as methane, carbon-dioxide, and nitrogen) and steam at high temperatures on one of the Egyptian retrograde gas condensate reservoirs. Several gas injection scenarios that comprise different combination of gas injection temperature, enthalpy, injection gas types (CO2, N2, and CH4), and injection-rates were carried out. The results indicated that all conventional and thermal gas injection scenarios do not increase the cumulative gas production more than the depletion case. The non-thermal gas injection scenarios increased the cumulative condensate production by 8.6%. However, thermal CO2 injection increased the condensate production cumulative by 28.9%. It was observed that thermal gas injection does not vaporize condensate It was observed that thermal gas injection does not vaporize condensate more than conventional injection that have the same reservoir pressure trend. However, thermal injection mainly improves the condensate mobility. Appropriately, thermal injection in retrograde reservoirs, is mostly applicable for depleted reservoirs when the largest amount of non-producible liquid is already dropped out. Finally, this research studied executing thermal gas injection in retrograde gas condensate reservoirs, operationally, by considering the following items: carbon dioxide recovery unit, compressors, storage-tanks, anti-corrosion pipe-lines and tubing-strings, and corrosion-inhibitors along with downhole gas heaters.

The process of carbon dioxide injection into the initial gas-water contact with different rates of its injection, using a 3D model of a gas condensate reservoir, has been investigated. Calculations were carried out for one well injection rate of non-hydrocarbon gas: 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 th.m3/day. According to the calculated results, it has been found that with an increased rate of the carbon dioxide injection into a productive reservoir, the operation duration of production wells decreases until the moment of the carbon dioxide breakthrough. Based on the techno-logical indicators’ analysis of the gas condensate reservoir’s development, it has been found that the introduction of the carbon dioxide injecting technology leads to a reduction in the production of formation water. Due to the injec-tion of non-hydrocarbon gases, a hydrodynamic barrier is created on the initial gas-water contact boundary, which decreases the water influx. Also, the introduction of carbon dioxide injection technology will additionally create an artificial barrier between water and natural gas, which blocks the selective water encroaching and thereby ensure stable waterless operation of production wells. Based on the conducted calculations, the main dependencies have been derived and the corresponding patterns between them have been established. According to the results of the statistical processing of the calculated data, the optimal carbon dioxide injection rate has been determined. At the time of the carbon dioxide breakthrough into the producing well, its optimal well injection rate is 58.17 th.m3/day. The ultimate gas recovery factor for the optimal carbon dioxide injection rate is 63.29 %. Under the same condi-tions during depletion, the ultimate natural gas recovery factor is 53.98%. The results of the carried out studies indicate the technological efficiency of carbon dioxide injection into the initial gas-water contact in order to slow down the formation water encroaching into productive reservoir.
