Fluid chemistry/ gas content / physical properties change
Reservoir fluid composition, gas content and other physical properties can change through time during operation due to gas or component extraction within the produced fluid (e.g. Li, gases), due to injection of inhibitors and chemicals used to treat corrosion and scaling or because of thermal and pressure changes in the reservoir. This risk is generally accounted for during management plan of the field ahead of the project and is closely monitored over time by analysing fluid composition and gas content.
