I don't know what gathering company is moving the gas, but Centerpoint wont let customers put wet gas in their transmission lines because of the sludge and residue it creates in the line. They have to chill the gas in a chiller (compressor) before they can put it in the transmission lines. They "pig" the lines regularly and the condensate, sludge, and other stuff takes up space that would otherwise be moving gas. Which is the name of the game.
They run what they call a "smart pig" that is loaded with sensors that can tell when impurity's have pitted the line to the point that it needs repairing.

Does this mean the well will not ever produce or will they be able to get it to produce? Will it always be wet gas or is this something that changes in time? Is hot gas the same as wet gas?
