This paper shows how the major downhole parameters of a gas condensate well compare to the corrosion rate. A step-wise multiple regression analysis has been performed on these parameters and the resulting equation has been shown to compare well to Model H of the USL (University of Southwestern Louisiana) Corrosion Model and the actual corrosion rate. Using discriminate analysis, a probability equation for mist flow in gas condensate wells has been developed which uses several of these parameters.
