Condensate banking removal: study on ultrasonic amplitude effect

Abstract Hydrocarbons in a gas condensate reservoir consist of wide variety molecules which will react varyingly with the change pressure inside and wellbore. The presence heavier ended hydrocarbons such as C5 above, banking occur depletes. Pressure drop below dew point causes buildup give negative impact productivity index reservoir. Gas reservoirs experience liquid out when depletion reaches pressure. This occurrence eventually cause over time production where builds up pore spaces near-wellbore formations. Due to increase saturation, mobility is reduced reduction recoverable hydrocarbons. Instead remediating loss by using unsustainable recovery techniques, sonication used assist natural flow study aims evaluate effects various ultrasonic amplitudes on removal heterogenous glass pack flowing conditions varying exposure durations. Experiments were conducted n-Decane represent area. Carbon dioxide was flowed through from after 10%, 50% 100% (20 kHz 20 Watts). Analysis results shows 17.36% an areal sweep efficiency 24.33% amplitude for 120 min due viscosity. It concluded that sweeping reciprocal ratio are increased min. indicates improved allow higher hydrocarbon production. Insights into aspects mechanical wave expected contribute better understanding tuning sonic wave, deliver remarkable closed solid fluid system. form IOR has not only proved be effective method wells, but it also environmentally sustainable cost-effective method.
