Overview

This analysis demonstrates the impact of aquifer size and offtake rates on condensate recovery in retrograde gas reservoirs.

Key Points

  • Increasing offtake rates boosts recovery of gas and condensate, showing a significant 5-year acceleration.
  • Increased aquifer size improves pressure maintenance and extends condensate plateau by around 8 months.
  • Implementing a sealing fault led to notable reductions of ~2 MMstb and 2 Bscf in condensate and gas recoveries.
  • Testing multiple drainage points yielded an additional ~5 MMstb of condensate and 33 Bscf of gas after initial depletion.
