Increasing gas extraction volume during periodically operation of the gas condensate wells

Abstract

The article deals with the issues occurring due to gas condensate wells operation at the final stage of development
particularly gas condensate wells production during periodically gas extraction. The operation of such wells is
characterized by the inefficien running that leads to the further decrease of gas production. The necessity is proved
to provide the automated control of well operation parameters by setting pressure and temperature sensors at the
wellhead and inlet line at the gas treatment plant. Thus, there will be the possibility to control well operation
parameters in real time and look through the archived data on the personal computer. Automation of wells starting
and shutting down is suggested by setting the regulatory system at the inlet line. These implementations will enable
permanently to monitor wells operation, i.e. to control and record pressure and temperature differentiation, to
select the optimum operation mode, to eliminate manual control, more efficiently to respond in case of failures
occurrence, e.g. at liquid accumulation, carbohydrate sedimentation and thus to increase the recovery of hydrocarbons.
The efficiency of gas condensate operation has been proved at lower pressure of the gas gathering line
header, in particular the boosting compressor station that will able to reduce downtime.
