Abstract
This paper provides a new method of forecasting natural gas production of gas-condensate wells that flow under three phase conditions. Such wells include gas condensate wells that produce liquid condensate and water along with gas phase, their main production. Mathematically treating such systems can be very demanding. A new tedious, but simple method of projecting the gas phase production is proposed. In this method we integrate reservoir production data and the pressure transient data to forecast well performance without prior knowledge of relative permeability as function of saturation. Since pressure transient well test data is usually available on yearly basis, effective permeability as a function of pressure can be updated. It is the true representative of the reservoir conditions of heterogeneity, geometry, and resident fluids.
The total gas production in a gas condensate reservoir is contribution of all the three regions that might exist at certain stage of depletion. Free and dissolved gas in both oil and water in Region-1, free and dissolved gas in water in Region-2, and free and dissolved gas in water in Region-3. Thus to project the production, along with the physical properties of fluids in all the three regions, their phase change with pressure also has to be handled.
It is observed from the solved examples that buildup of condensate liquid phase reduces the gas production as well as water production, a favorable situations. Partially the gas production loss is recovered in form of condensate while reducing water production.
Finally, few examples with simulated data are analyzed to show the use of new method. A step-by-step procedure is also devised to establish the well performance. Small operators will benefit from this method at the most, since data acquisition like relative permeability curves requires to laboratory experiments on cores. Introduction
We are extending our understanding of the retrograde gas-condensate systems lately. Recently many good papers have been published that treat gas-condensate systems. Retrograde gas-condensate reservoirs are primarily gas reservoirs. A zone of liquid begins to form as the dew point pressure is reached. The liquid keeps accumulating and does not flow until the critical liquid saturation is reached. Once critical saturation of the liquid phase is reached, it begins to flow towards the wellbore along with the gas. Pressure at this point in the reservoir is termed as P*. Interestingly, this liquid may re-vaporize as the pressure further crosses the lower line on two-phase envelope of phase diagram. This behavior of re-vaporization of the oil phase is called the Retrograde behavior. Fig.1, Fig.2, Fig.3, and Fig.4 show the schematics of such a phenomenon in vertical wells and horizontal wells.

Deliverability loss in such conditions is mainly due to two reasons: a) Gas undergoing liquid phase and b) permeability impairment by the liquid. Thus both have to be handled mathematically to predict well performance with reasonable accuracy.

Depletion of gas-condensate reservoirs has been a topic of continuous research. Quantitative two-phase flow in the reservoirs was first studied by Muskat and Evinger14. They were the first researchers who indicated that curvature in IPR curve of solution gas drive reservoirs is due to decreasing relative permeability of oil phase with depletion. Based on Wellers2 approximations of constant de-saturation of oil and constant GOR at a given instant (not for the whole life of the
reservoir) in the reservoir, Vogel1was able to develop an IPR that would revolutionize the performance prediction of solution gas drive reservoirs. Fetkovich23, Camacho19 and Raghavan, Wiggins18, and Sukarnos16 work on IPRs follows the Vogels1 work.
Gilbert correlation for productivity index estimations for oil wells (J = P/q) was being used until 1968 for solution gas reservoirs too. Vogel1, 1968, first published IPR for solution-gas reservoirs, which handles the two-phase flow of oil and gas. Vogel using Wellers concepts was able to generate family of IPR curves in terms of only two parameters, flow rate and BHFP.
Recently Raghavan and Jones13 discuss the issues in predicting production performance of condensate systems in vertical wells. Fevang and Whitson5 model the Gas-Condensate well deliverability using simulator and by keeping the track of saturation with pressure and relative permeability. We need an analytical IPR for gas condensate wells to be able to use it in optimizing production equipment including tubing, artificial lift systems, pumps, and surface facilities.

The effective permeability is the derivative of above equations 48 and 49. Establishing IPR Rawlins and Shellhardt17 equation can now be used to establish the well performance.
( )nTgT mPCq = . (I-1) Procedure To Establish IPR
1. Convert the most recent pressure transient data into pseudopressure using Eq.38a without gas effective permeability term. Also calculate the
time log derivative
)ln(tdmPd
of the transient
pseudopressure data. 2. From the well-developed semi-log straight-line
portion, estimate effective permeability integral using Eq.48. Select the proper equation depending on the region that exists.
3. Plot the effective permeability integral estimated in Step-3 Vs pressure get a good curve fit such that ends at zero. This is as if both the limits on the effective permeability integral were zero. Get a simple algebraic equation. For detailed analysis paper SPE 75503 can be referred.
4. Now convert the production pressure, Pwf, into pseudopressure using Eq.38a again without effective permeability term. In the next column, calculate the effective permeability integral for same Pwf values. Multiply the pseudopressure with integral values to get final pseudopressure values.
5. From the log-log plot of mP, estimated in step-4, vs. rate estimate the C and the n. C is the intercept and n is the slope. These are the parameters of Rawlins and Shellhardt17 equation, I-1.
6. Establish the well performance using Eq.I-1. Conclusions
1. A new method of establishing well performance of gas condensate wells that produce under three phase conditions have been introduced.
2. This new method does not use relative permeability curves as a function of saturation, instead, it uses pressure transient data to get effective permeability as
a function of pressure and then use it to project well performance.
3. A new definition of pseudopressure for gas condensate reservoirs has been introduced that does not require relative permeability curves for three phase gas condensate fluids.
4. Well test pressure data is used to estimate the effective permeability as a function of pressure that includes the phase change that occurs in the gas condensate reservoirs with depletion.
5. Effective permeability of either phase can be calculated from the surface measured gas rate.
6. Concept of free gas rate that is required to calculate relative permeability in multiphase systems has been completely eliminated.
7. The effective permeability of one phase can also be used to convert the pressure data into pseudopressure of other phase. This is very useful in case only one phase production data is available.
8. It has been observed that the wells that produce under three-phase condition, developing condensate (liquid) phase reduces both gas deliverability (considered to be negative impact) and water production, a positive impact.

Fig.14. Water Phase IPR in Region-1.
Example-2: Vertical Wells-Pressure Buildup This example was simulated with reservoir pressure just above the dew point pressure to simulate the Region-1, Region,2 and Region-3 together. But the pressure did not drop far below to see all the three regions together. The lowest pressure is 3,500 psi. Initial data is masked by the wellbore storage effects, but the region-1 P > Pd = 4,800 psi is well developed. After 100 hours, we are in radial portion and are in the Region-1.Thus using same procedure as in example 1, well performance is established.

Fig.23. Water phase IPR.
Comments on Fig.23: Although dew point pressure is 4800 psi, its impact on water production is felt much before. The upper line is the water production trend if dew point pressure was not reached. After dew point pressure, water production declines sharply. Thus it is clear from Fig.23 that the condensation helps reduce water production. The second dotted line is the water production trend if P*was not reached. After P* is reached water trend stabilizes and shows linear decline. Example-3: Horizontal Well

Since reservoir pressure is less than dew point pressure Region-2 and Region-1 might exist. In this example we do not know P*, so it is assumed that only Region-1 exists. Using Eq.38a, pressure test data is analyzed, ignoring the gas effective permeability term.
