Experimental Investigation on Condensate Revaporization During Gas Injection Development in Fractured Gas Condensate Reservoirs

The gas field in the Bohai Bay Basin is a fractured metamorphic buried-hill reservoir with dual-media characteristics.The retrograde vaporization mechanism observed in this type of gas condensate reservoir differs significantly from that observed in sand gas condensate reservoirs.However,studies on improving the recovery of fractured gas condensate reservoirs are limited;thus,the impact of retrograde vaporization on condensate within fractured metamorphic buried-hill reservoirs remains unclear.To address this gap,a series of gas injection experiments are conducted in pressure-volume-temperature(PVT)cells and long-cores to investigate the retrograde vaporization effect of condensate using different gas injection media in fractured gas condensate reservoirs.We analyze the variation in condensate volume,gas-to-oil ratio,and condensate recovery during gas injection and examine the influence of various gas injection media(CO2,N2,and dry gas)under different reservoir properties and varying gas injection times.The results demonstrate that the exchange of components between injected gas and condensate significantly influences condensate retrograde vaporization in the formation.Compared with dry gas injection and N2 injection,CO2 injection exhibits a superior retrograde vaporization effect.At a CO2 injection volume of 1 PV,the percentage shrinkage volume of condensate is 13.82% .Additionally,at the maximum retrograde condensation pressure,CO2 injection can increase the recovery of condensate by 22.4% .However,the condensate recovery is notably lower in fractured gas condensate reservoirs than in homogeneous reservoirs,owing to the creation of dominant gas channeling by fractures,which leads to decreased condensate recovery.Regarding gas injection timing,the effect of gas injection at reservoir pressure on improving condensate recovery is superior to that of gas injection at the maximum retrograde condensation pressure.This research provides valuable guidance for designing gas injection development plans and dynamic tracking adjustments for fractured gas condensate reservoirs.
