Depletion oil recovery for systems with widely varying initial composition

STO recovery from oil reservoirs depends increasingly on gas-oil relative permeabilities as initial solution GOR increases, up to a point. At higher initial solution GORs, oil recovery becomes less dependent on relative permeability and, as the fluid system transitions to a gas at the critical point, relative permeability dependence rapidly diminishes. Condensate recovery from gas condensate systems is more or less independent of gas-oil relative permeabilities, with only slight dependence for near-critical gases.
