A method for removing condensables from a natural gas stream upstream of a wellhead choke connected to a subterranean formation, the method comprising the steps of: (A) inducing the natural gas stream to flow at supersonic velocity through a conduit and thereby causing it to cool to a temperature that is below a temperature at which condensables will begin to condense forming separate droplets and/or particles; (B) separating the droplets and/or particles from the gases; (C) collecting the gas from which the condensables have been removed; (D) and transporting the gas and/or the condensables to a wellhead and/or re-injecting it into the subterranean formation from which it has been produced, or into a different formation, with the proviso that not all of the collected gas and condensables are re-injected into the same reservoir zone of the same formation, and a well completion system for producing gas from a subterranean formation wherein said method is applied.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'évacuer des condensables d'un flux de gaz naturel en amont de la duse d'une tête de puits reliée à une formation souterraine. Ledit procédé consiste à (A) amener le flux de gaz naturel à s'écouler à une vitesse subsonique dans un conduit, ce qui le refroidit à une température inférieure à celle à laquelle les condensables commencent à se condenser pour former des gouttelettes et/ou des particules séparées; (B) séparer le gaz des gouttelettes et/ou particules; (C) recueillir le gaz débarrassé des condensables; et (D) transporter le gaz et/ou les condensables vers une tête de puits et/ou réinjecter l'un et/ou l'autre dans la formation souterraine d'origine, ou dans une formation différente, pour autant que le gaz et les condensables recueillis ne soient pas entièrement réinjectés dans la même zone réservoir de la même formation. L'invention concerne en outre un système de complétion de puits permettant de produire du gaz à partir d'une formation souterraine auquel ledit procédé s'applique
