Abstract

During vertical displacement of oil-gas-condensate mixtures by gases, (solvent slugs) hydrocarbon recovery is determined by interphase mass transfer, phase transitions, the distribution of flow between gas and liquid phases with different mobilities, and the relative pressure of the phases in the stratified mixture. As in the case of multi-component displacement examined in Parts II–V, these are non-linear wave processes.
