e-notes (c) Curtis H. Whitson, Robert E. Mott Gas Condensate Rate Equation Region 1. Region 2. Region 3. The volumetric rate equation for a gas condensate well can be expressed in terms of a 2- phase pseudopressure integral. The pseudopressure accounts for ‘condensate blockage’ by including relative permeability krg inside the pressure integral. Flow to a gas condensate well can be modeled by three regions around the well. Region 1 – the area closest to the well where both oil and gas phases are flowing – dictates productivity loss or ‘condensate blockage’. The flowing composition is constant in Region 1. The single phase gas entering Region 1 has the same composition as the producing wellbore mixture; this observation leads to the the equation for krg/kro(p) in Region 1. The pseudopressure integral can be used to model condensate blockage in coarse grid reservoir simulation models; or it can be combined with material balance models to provide a simple model of condensate well performance. The pseudopressure integral can be extended to include high-velocity and IFT effects on relative permeability -- improvement from high capillary numbers and reduction from ‘inertial’ non-Darcy flow.
