COURSE OVERVIEW:

Gas condensate reservoirs represent one of the most technically challenging and economically significant fluid systems in the upstream oil and gas sector. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the physical behavior, production characteristics, and development strategies associated with gas condensate fields. Participants will examine retrograde condensation, phase behavior modeling, reservoir drive mechanisms, well deliverability constraints, and surface facilities needed to effectively handle gas condensate production.

The course also explores advanced development options, such as gas cycling, pressure maintenance, and enhanced recovery techniques specifically tailored for condensate-rich reservoirs. Field development planning, reservoir simulation, well placement, processing requirements, condensate stabilization, and operational challenges such as condensate banking near the wellbore are covered in depth. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the technical knowledge needed to evaluate, plan, optimize, and manage gas condensate assets across their full life cycle.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of the course, the participants will be able to:

• Explain the fundamental characteristics of gas condensate reservoirs.
• Understand retrograde condensation and how it impacts reservoir performance.
• Interpret phase behavior diagrams for gas condensate systems.
• Analyze key reservoir parameters influencing condensate recovery.
• Identify typical drive mechanisms found in gas condensate fields.
• Evaluate options for pressure maintenance and gas cycling.
• Understand well deliverability constraints and near-wellbore condensate dropout.
• Assess the influence of reservoir pressure decline on production strategy.
• Apply reservoir simulation concepts for gas condensate field development.
• Describe surface processing requirements for rich gas and condensate stabilization.
• Evaluate economic considerations for field development and facility sizing.
• Identify operational risks, production challenges, and mitigation measures.
• Understand environmental, HSE, and regulatory requirements for condensate handling.
• Develop and compare various development scenarios for condensate reservoirs.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

• Reservoir engineers
• Production engineers
• Petroleum engineers are involved in field development planning
• Geoscientists supporting condensate reservoir evaluation
• Operations staff working with rich gas and condensate handling
• Technical managers and planners in upstream development
• HSE professionals supporting surface operations

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximise the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80 percent of the total attendance time requirement.
