Abstract:

By the experimental data of the forefathers and the dew point pressure of the gas condensate reservoirs derived from different parts of the domestic, we make an empirical correlation expression for the calculation of the dew point pressure based on the genetic algorithm(GA). This expression considers more factors than that of other existing models including the temperature, fluid compositions, molecular mass and density ratio of heavy constituent, gas-oil ratio. The calculation results are more closed to the experimental data than the previous test values. The average of the relative error's absolute value is 3.05 %. In order to further verify the new empirical expression's prediction ability, the experimental data of other 10 groups of dew point pressure are compared with the results calculated by four models that is the N-K, Elsharkawy, Sun Zhidao's model and Wang Haiying's model. The results are relatively high in accuracy with the absolute value of 1.79 %. The absolute values of other four models are 49.53 %, 27.05 %, 3.30 % and 7.05 %.

Key words: dew point pressure, gas condensate reservoir, genetic algorithm(GA), optimization algorithm, prediction model
