Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of capillary
forces and adsorption on the distribution of a hydrocarbon mixture
in an oil-gas-condensate reservoir. These effects consist in the
precipitation of the liquid phase in thin pores and on the
internal surface of the reservoir rock. To estimate the amount of
the dispersed liquid condensate, analytical methods based on the
generalization of the Kelvin equation and on the potential theory
of adsorption have been developed. Sample calculations show
significant role of adsorption, especially, in the neighborhood of
the critical point of a mixture.
