Environmentally sustainable methods of extracting hydrocarbons from the reservoir are increasingly becoming an important area of research. Several methods are being applied to mitigate condensate banking effect which occurs in gas condensate reservoirs; some of which have significant impact on the environment (subsurface and surface). Electrokinetic enhanced oil recovery (EEOR) increases oil displacement efficiency in conventional oil reservoirs while retaining beneficial properties to the environment. To successfully apply this technology on gas condensate reservoirs, the behavior of condensate droplets immersed in brine under the influence of electric current need to be understood. A laboratory experiment was designed to capture the effect of electrical current on interfacial tension and droplet movement. Pendant drop tensiometry was used to obtain the interfacial tension, while force analysis was used to analyze the effect of the electrical current on droplet trajectory. Salinity (0–23 ppt) and electric voltage (0–46.5 V) were the main variables during the entire experiment. Results from the experiment reveal an increase in IFT as the voltage is increased, while the droplet trajectory was significantly altered with an increase in voltage. This study concludes that the interfacial tension increases progressively with an increase in DC current, until its effect counteracts the benefit obtained from the preferential movement of condensate droplet.

从储层中提取碳氢化合物的环境可持续方法越来越成为重要的研究领域。目前正在采用几种方法来减轻凝析气藏中发生的凝结作用。其中一些会对环境（地下和地面）产生重大影响。电动提高的采油量（EEOR）可提高传统油库中的驱油效率，同时保留对环境的有益性能。为了将这种技术成功地应用于凝析气藏，需要了解在电流的影响下浸入盐水中的凝析油滴的行为。设计了一个实验室实验来捕获电流对界面张力和液滴运动的影响。悬垂滴定法用于获得界面张力，而力分析用于分析电流对液滴轨迹的影响。在整个实验过程中，盐度（0–23 ppt）和电压（0–46.5 V）是主要变量。实验结果表明，随着电压的增加，IFT会增加，而液滴的轨迹会随着电压的增加而发生显着变化。这项研究得出的结论是，界面张力随着DC电流的增加而逐渐增加，直到其作用抵消了冷凝液滴的优先运动所带来的好处。5 V）是整个实验期间的主要变量。实验结果表明，随着电压的增加，IFT会增加，而液滴的轨迹会随着电压的增加而发生显着变化。这项研究得出的结论是，界面张力随着DC电流的增加而逐渐增加，直到其作用抵消了冷凝液滴的优先运动所带来的好处。5 V）是整个实验期间的主要变量。实验结果表明，随着电压的增加，IFT会增加，而液滴的轨迹会随着电压的增加而发生显着变化。这项研究得出的结论是，界面张力随着DC电流的增加而逐渐增加，直到其作用抵消了冷凝液滴的优先运动所带来的好处。
