Role of Capillary Forces in Filtration of a Gas–Condensate Mixture near a Well

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

The problem of steady‐state flow of a gas–condensate mixture near an operating well is considered. The effect of capillary forces on condensate distribution in a porous medium is studied both analytically and numerically. It is shown that capillary forces can serve to decrease the amount of condensate, with the effect occurring in both cases — wetting and nonwetting liquid phases.
