2. Reservoir Description
The SH gas-condensate field is located in southern
Iran (the original field name has been changed to
SH for confidentiality). Based on geological,
seismic and well data, the field is an elongated
anticlinal structure and consists of three main
geological pay zones: Kangan, Upper Dalan and
Lower Dalan. To date a total number of 10 wells
have been drilled and completed in this structure.
These wells were completed on different reservoir
sections either as open holes or perforated liners.
Most of the reservoirs in the field are believed to be
carbonates.
The original fluid in this field is evaluated as a lean
gas condensate with an average CGR of 13.5
STB/MMSCF. PVT studies indicate a dewpoint
pressure of 4280 psia at a reservoir temperature of
184.5 F for the fluid samples taken from Kangan
formation. The average reservoir pressure in this
layer was 4117 psia. The basic reservoir parameters
used in this study are shown in Table 1.

Conclusions
1. Condensate saturation profile resulted from the
compositional simulation underestimates the
condensate bank radius in this lean gas condensate
reservoir compared to the well test analysis
results.
2. A good match was obtained by sensitivity analysis
of capillary number parameters, in this lean gascondensate reservoir.
3. The buildup log-log plot obtained from the
compositional simulator shows that the simulated
case matches the actual derivative reasonably at
middle times and more accurately at late times,
