C7+ Fraction Concentration (For Gas Condensates)
The heptane-plus fractions composition of original reservoir gas can be estimated using the initial producing gas/condensate ratio. Also when the well-stream gas composition data are not available, the C7+ fraction can be estimated using well-stream gas specific gravity.
The relationship between the composition of heptanes plus in percent and initial producing gas/condensate ratio is a power function.
