A reservoir in which the pressure is high and the hydrocarbon content is completely in a gaseous or supercritical phase at initial conditions. 2, record 1, English, - retrograde%20condensate%20reservoir
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 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. 2, record 1, English, - retrograde%20condensate%20reservoir
