Improved Hydrocarbon Recovery of a Lean Retrograde Gas Reservoir under Propane Injection

In most cases, retrograde gas reservoir in N Field which is located at the north of Malay Basin achieved 40-70% of recovery factor (RF) compared to dry gas reservoir, 80-90% of RF. Reservoir K, a lean retrograde gas reservoir of the N Field drained by Well 5 experience reduction in recovery (about 6...
