You are correct fecm, in the Darwin case gas, once stripped of manageable alkanes for onward sale. The business uses the term ‘LPG’ for Butane and Propane. Dry and hard to manage Alkanes ie Methane and Ethane will be reinjected. Pentane is liquid at room temperature.
A similar approach will be used in the NFB but apart from the use of anti-paraffinics/vacuum insulated tubing etc and the complexity of the former fresh water environment (leading to complex fan structures, snaky rivers of reservoir etc) Pmo do not have the complexity of condensate blockage to contend with. I would recommend researching this, fascinating stuff, all kinds of fluid dynamic effects to understand. Forchheimer equations for example. It would be a good idea for any newbies or non-tech types to study condensate reservoirs, if I’m not mistaken condensate is possible in Johnson: there is an opportunity for a Darwin type gas reinjection project. The West Falklands ought to have been surveyed for an LNG train by now, missing the boat in a globally expanding business. Thousands of acres have been lost forever to minefields, the RE gave up after two amputation incidents after the war and just fenced them off.
So in your development you observe producers and reinjectors. These may change over time, one for the oilers, FDP engineers etc. Not my field. Condensate is an extremely valuable liquid, helping to solve the forthcoming shipping fuel oil problem!
