Gas-condensate composition -- 1: New correlation determines retrograde gas-condensate composition
- Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO (United States)
A correlation has been developed for a retro-grade condensate a reservoir that relates well stream effluent composition at any depleted state to the reservoir fluid composition at its initial dew point pressure. Thus, if the composition at a depleted state is known, one can calculate the initial composition. Or, if the initial composition is known, one can calculate the composition of the well steam effluent during pressure depletion. This first article in a two-part series describes the derivation of the correlation. Software for the calculations, available free from OGJ and the Gas Research Institute, will be discussed in the second part. Also, a correlation was developed to predict, if not available from other sources, the initial specific gravity of the gas condensate.
