The role of gas-condensate fields becomes more and more important because the share of gas production from such fields increases. Enhanced condensate recovery is one of the key problems for gas-condensate fields. The depletion-drive development of such fields is associated with reservoir pressure reduction causing retrograde condensation of high-boiling hydrocarbons with their partial dropout into the liquid phase and strata losses. The dropped out condensate is immobile and is almost not involved in a filtration process. As a rule, from 30 to 60% of condensate initially in place is left in reservoirs.

До настоящего времени для повышения конденсатоотдачи наиболее известен только один метод воздействия на пласт – сайклинг-процесс - обратная закачка в пласт сухого газа. Во многих случаях возможности применения сайклинг-процесса ограничены экономическими и/или другими причинами.

Until now, a cycling process (dry gas reinjection) has been the only well-known stimulation method. In many cases, the use of the cycling process is limited by economical and/or other reasons.

The gas industry is in great need for improvement of existing stimulation methods for gas-condensate fields and search for new technologies to enhance condensate recovery, both due to reservoir pressure maintenance to prevent condensate dropout, and by recovery of the retrograde condensate already dropped-out in reservoirs.

Most gas-condensate targets which are planned to be developed in the nearest future contain oil reserves in the form of underlying or peaked oil rims. Conventional techniques of reservoir pressure maintenance by oil rim flooding are inefficient, and in case of development by gas cap expansion, an average oil recovery factor for such targets does not exceed 20%. When oil wells of standard design have low productivity, the designer cannot select an economically attractive option of oil rim development, and as a result, investors do not hurry to put money into development of such complex targets. The mentioned problems require search for new techniques and technical facilities for development of gas-condensate reservoirs with oil rims.
