The article discusses mineralization, indicating that its production rate depends on water condensation. It adds that the mineral content of water increases in direct proportion to the level of water production and its density. For its part, the critique noted that the gas production for 225 thousand m3/day water had a yield rate of 1.37 m3/day vs a mineralization rate of only 6.3 g/l. At this stage, the paper related that the gas flow had grown to 705 thousand m3/day and the water discharge to 21 m3/day (latter’s salinity rose to 21 g/l). These changes took place in time, the document observed, for them to be compared with the mineralization and water condensation rates at the Astrakhan gas condensate deposit (AGKM). With respect to the latter, it said that water condensation, salinity and salt composition features and micro-components are different from those at the AGKM. At this stage, the commentary shifted its focus to the water capacity of natural gas. It stated that water rates and mineralization generally increase at facilities launching into gas mining procedures. The gas composition is also influenced by the ’pore’ and ’associated water’ conditions. Moreover, uterine waters close to the reservoir related could be affected by pore water, as could mineralization. Finally, the blueprint says that if vast amounts of gas are pumped from the water field, this could have a significant impact on the condensed water composition, in particular that derived from the ’pull-up bottom’ waters.
