Abstract
Summary
The effects of gravity, viscous forces, interfacial tension, and wettability on the critical condensate saturation and relative permeability of gas condensate systems are studied using a phenomenological simple network model. The results from the simple model show that wettability significantly affects both critical condensate saturation and relative permeability. Relative permeability at some saturations may increase significantly as the contact angle is altered from 0° (strongly liquid-wet) to 85° (intermediately gas-wet). The results suggest that gas well deliverability in condensate reservoirs can be enhanced by wettability alteration near the wellbore.
