Condensed water
Condensed water
(OP)
I have recently heard a new term in the oilfield. People have been talking about condensed water, could someone expend on this please? Am I right in thinking this is water produced from the gas cap rather than the aquifer?

I come just to complete DrillerNic's answer.
That condensed water is produced due to two factors: temperature and pressure. Usualy you can find it on high pressurized reservoirs and is conditioned by the type of flow along the wellbore (from mist to dew). That phenomenon can be found in gas reservoirs and in gas-condensate reservoirs were usualy the reservoir - wellbore flow is defined by a high Reynolds (nonDarcy flow affected by Forheimer effect - inertial).

RE: Condensed water
I take it will have a lower saturation and be less likely to ppt scale then?
