Raw (or wet) Gas Gravity
• When condensate (oil) production is condensed from gas stream in wellbore/separator:
• Reconstruct gravity with oil molecules in the wet gas, pp.11-15, Eqs. 1.37 and 1.38
• for overall separation, R is total GOR
w = (R g + 4,602 o) / (R + 133,316 o/Mo)
where: R = scf /S.T.Bbl o = oil sp. grav. = 141.5 / (131.5 + oAPI)
g = oil sp. grav. bl Mo = oil M.W. ≈ 5,954/(API – 8.811)
24
Raw (or wet) Gas Production
• Use Eq. 1.47, p. 13 to correct separator gas and S. T. Oil production to Wet gas production from the reservoir
Gp = Gp,dry +133,316 Np o / Mo
Gp = scf o = oil sp. grav.
Np = S.T.Bbl Mo = oil M.W.
25
Water Vapor in Gas
• Not included in composition alalysis
• Bukacek’s Correlation, p. 28,29, Eqs.
1.101-1.103
• lb/MMscf/(350 water S.G.) = Bbl/MMscf
26
Worksheet for including water and condensate vapor
Calculation of water content in gas, using Bukacek's method (see Lee and Wattenbarger, p. 28-29)
Temperature, deg F. = 310 A(T) = 3,704,608 Pressure, psia = 10,000 B(T) = 489.17
Water vapor, lb/MMscf = 860 Water in vapor phase, Bbl/MMscf = 2.46 Water in vapor phase, MMscf/MMscf = 0.018 Gas volume correction factor = 1.018
Condensate in gas phase (see Lee and Wattenbarger, pp. 9-16)Oil gravity, deg. API = 49.4 Oil sp. Grav = 0.782Dry (separator) gas gravity = 0.732 Mol.wt. = 146.7Oil production, STB = 1.000 GOR, scf/STB = 1,996 Gas production, Mscf = 1.996 OGR, Bbl/MMscf = 501.0
Wet gas gravity = 1.8695866Gas equivalent of oil = 0.35615507 (MMscf in 1 MMscf of dry gas)"Wet gas" correction factor = 1.35615507Wet gas production, Mscf = 2.70688552

7670 0.745590613 5718.68
This calculation corrects the dry gas (separator gas) production to account for the oil in the gas phase. Wet gas volumes should be used in any material balance calculations. (Example 1.8)
To apply this to liquid loading estimates, input the reservoir temperature and static pressure. Then input the surface tubing temperature and pressure. The difference is the condensed water in the liquid phase. This liquid water may cause liquid loading.

Sampling a Gas Condensate Well
• Must be single phase in reservoir (above dew point), Figs. 10.2, 10.3
• Downhole sample– More difficult– Only valid if single phase in wellbore
• Recombined sampling– Requires accurate field GOR, lab matching– Gas and liquid samples at primary separator– Or, Total separator gas and stock tank oil– (see SPE3, Table 4)

31
Lab Tests for CondensatesConstant Volume Expansion, “Depletion Study”
• Carried out in steps (pressure decrements)• Emulates production from constant pore volume
reservoir (depletion)– liquid does not flow to well, Table 7, SPE3
• Produced gas can be analyzed, Table 8, SPE3• Separator ratios or plant products can be
calculated, Table 9, SPE3
32
Lab Tests for CondensatesSolubility and Swelling Test
• Designed to approximate effect of injected gas on phase behavior and dew point
• Performed in increments of gas injection. – Add injection gas – Measure new dew point with CCE– Measure “swollen volume” at new dew point
• (See SPE3, Tables 10-15)
33
Hydrates• When water hydrates are in gas
• Slushy “ice” plugs lines, valves, etc.– when below “freezing point”, pp.29-31– when pressure drop is too great, pp. 29-31
• Solutions– dry gas with ethylene glycol– avoid large pressure drops– heat gas stream– add methanol to lower freezing point
