Record 1 2004-07-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Production
DEF

A reservoir in which the pressure is high and the hydrocarbon content is completely in a gaseous or supercritical phase at initial conditions.

OBS

As the pressure drops because of production, the heavier hydrocarbon components condense, forming liquids within the reservoir. Such action is the retrograde phenomenon. If the reservoir pressure is completely depleted, only a small portion of these liquids will revaporize and be recovered.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Production pétrolière
