Gas-condensate productivity is highly dependent on the thermodynamic behavior of the fluids-in-place. The condensation attendant with the depletion of gas-condensate reservoirs leads to a deficiency in the flow of fluids moving toward the production channels. The impairment is a result of condensate accumulation near the production channels in an immobility state until reaching a critical saturation point. Considering the flow phenomenon of gas-condensate reservoirs, tight formations can be inevitably complex hosting environments in which to achieve economical production. This work is aimed to assess the productivity gas-condensate reservoirs in a naturally fractured setting against the effect of capillary pressure and relative permeability constraints. The severity of condensate coating and magnitude of impairment was evaluated in a system with a permeability of 0.001 mD using an in-house compositional simulator. Several composition combinations were considered to portray mixtures ascending in complexity from light to heavy. The examination showed that thicker walls of condensate and greater impairment are attained with mixture containing higher nonvolatile concentrations. In addition, the influence of different capillary curves was insignificant to the overall behavior of fluids-in-place and movement within the pores medium. A greater impact on the transport of fluids was owed to relative permeability curves, which showed dependency on the extent of condensate content. Activating diffusion was found to diminish flow constraints due to the capturing of additional extractions that were not accounted for under Darcy's law alone.

Gas Recovery

Abstract Low value of final condensate recoveries achieved under natural depletion require implementation of enhanced gas recovery (EGR) methods to be implemented for the efficient development of gas-condensate reservoirs. The study was performed using synthetic numerical 9-component compositional simulation model that approximated the typical conditions of deep gas-condensate reservoirs of Dnieper-Donetsk Basin in Easter Ukraine. Injection of water, methane, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, mixture of methane and nitrogen, mixture of methane, ethane and propane at different concentrations were evaluated at 50% and 100% voidage replacement for reservoir fluids with 100 g/m3, 300 g/m3 and 500g/m3 potential condensate yield. Condensate recovery studied at different stages after primary depletion, when reservoir pressure reached 25, 50, 75% from dew point and at pressure of maximum liquid dropout. Results comparison was done based on the two criteria: technical efficiency – incremental condensate recovery towards the base depletion cases and economic efficiency – cumulative NPV. Status of initial depletion as well as voidage replacement have a direct impact on breakthrough time and negative economic indicators. Despite providing the highest incremental condensate recovery by injecting CO2 at 100% voidage, it has a strong negative economic effect. Based on incremental condensate recovery EGR methods are ranked as following for all condensate potential yields and levels of primary depletion: CO2 100%; solvent gas mixture of C1 90%, C2 5%, C3 5%; solvent gas mixture C1 98%, C2 1%, C3 1%; C1 100%; mixture of C1 50% and N2 50%; N2 100%; water. Economically, the highest efficiency was shown for C1 100% injection, due to the fact, that produced re-cycled gas has a sales value as well. For the maximum incremental recovery it is advisable to start the injection as early as possible, while highest economic increments received for the cases of delayed injection, particularly when the reservoir pressure is equal to the pressure of maximum liquid condensation. The results of study can be used a guidance for rapid screening of applicable EGR method for gas-condensate fields depending on depletion stage and potential condensate yield.
