  Abstract: To enhance production of entrapped condensate in gas-condensate reservoirs without delay in produced gas sales, this study looked at the impact of waterflood and low saline brine injection on an offshore gascondensate reservoir in the Tano Basin, Ghana, West-Africa. The injector well placements, rate, and pressure were optimised using three optimisers (Differential Evolution, Particle Swarm Optimisation, Design Exploration and Controlled Evolution). Condensate and gas recovery increased by 30.3% (from 19.1% …
