AbstractWith the development of high-pressure and high-temperature condensate gas wells, the wellbore blockage problems have become increasingly serious. Hence, selecting appropriate treatment technology plays a crucial role in solving the wellbore blockage problems. This study presents a comprehensive literature review on understanding the blockage type, mechanism, and treatment of the high-temperature and high-pressure condensate gas wells. The causes, endangerments, mechanisms, influences, and preventive technologies of the 4 wellbore blockage types are presented. The significant aspects of the treatment technology, such as the principle, type, advantage and disadvantage, adaptability, limitation, and future research direction of the treatment technologies, are thoroughly discussed. The breakthrough solid autogenetic heat treatment technology has been selected to remove hydrate blockage. The present review highlights the current state in the industry, future position, and strategies for the researchers to follow. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages and future research directions of specific treatment technology are presented on the removing effect, cost, and environmental aspects. |
