ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for the displacing reservoir fluids, such as a rich gas, through a subterranean reservoir, such as a gas-condensate reservoir, wherein a displacement fluid is introduced into a reservoir and it is displaced along with the reservoir fluids through the reservoir. The displacement fluid develops in situ miscibility with the reservoir fluids at the temperature and pressure of the reservoir and comprises a nonoxidizing gas and fluids produced from the reservoir. The nonoxidizing fluid can be selected from a group consisting of carbon dioxide, flue gas, nitrogen, and combinations of these, and the fluids produced from the reservoir are in the form of dry hydrocarbon gas.
