摘要
Formation of condensate bank around a gas condensate well due to reduction in bottom-hole pressure below its dew point will impose a significant reduction on the well productivity owing to a sharp fall in the gas effective permeability. Hence a better understanding and modeling of this behavior will lead to a more precise prediction of reservoir performance. Therefore the objective of this work was to make a comparison between different simulation methods of gas condensate reservoirs in order to check the validity of them respect to the most accurate one (i.e., fine grid) fully compositional model. This study shows that the modified black oil model would be adequate to simulate depletion cases above and below gas condensate dew point. However, the two phase pseudo-pressure method is not always applicable in simulating gas condensate reservoirs especially in the presence of high velocity flow effects.
