Abstract

In recent years, many gas condensate and volatile oil reservoirs have been discovered offshore. Many of these reservoirs are under high temperature and high pressure conditions. It is important to properly model and optimise gas condensate recovery during asset development in many oil and gas companies. A systematic approach to modelling gas condensate and volatile oil reservoirs by the use reservoir simulation is presented in this paper. The following topics are focused in particular:
