Abstract

A lower completion has a perforated region for the extraction of gas and a humidifying fin including a plurality of nozzles for injecting water droplets into the annulus surrounding the lower completion. Water droplets are mixed with the gas in the annulus surrounding the lower completion to reduce halite deposition by preventing dehydration of water within the wellbore and nearby gas reservoir.
