Abstract

This article examines the application of solid foam generators for liquid removal from the bottom of gas condensate wells. The study focuses on challenges arising at the late stages of gas condensate field development, such as increasing well flow rates and reducing water cut. The article presents the results of pilot industrial tests of solid foam generators, analyzing their efficiency and technical-economic performance. Special attention is given to the mechanism of action of foam generators and their impact on reducing operational costs. Recommendations for the optimal use of solid foam generators in various gas condensate field conditions are proposed. The findings indicate a significant potential for using solid foam generators to enhance profitability and extend the operational life of gas condensate wells.
