Well deliverability is an important issue in forecasting the performance of many gas condensate reservoirs. Condensate accumulations near the wellbore may cause a significant reduction in the well productivity, even in the case of very lean fluids. Generally, the well deliverability is affected by two pressure-drop sources due to depletion and condensate buildup.Recently rapid spreadsheet tools have been developed to evaluate the well performance using material balance equation for depletion and two-phase pseudo pressure integral for well inflow performance. Most of them account for the effects of negative inertia and positive coupling in the calculation of gas relative permeabilities.This paper introduces a new method for calculation of well productivity in gas condensate reservoirs. This method uses the concept of two-phase pseudo pressure integral without any need to estimate the radius of two-phase region. In this approach the average reservoir pressure is calculated by using a general material balance equation. The only data required for implementing this method is PVT data, relative permeability curves and a table of well flowing pressure versus time. The new technique can be encoded on a spreadsheet in order to forecast the gas condensate well performance very rapidly.To validate the proposed approach we have used several single-well fine grid compositional simulations of a hypothetical reservoir model over a typical range of gas condensate reservoir parameters. We have shown that there is a reasonable agreement between the result of fine grid simulation and the prediction from the proposed approach.
