The problem of the composition of absorption hydrocarbons and liquid condensate arises in the study of gas condensate reservoirs. From the examples of the gas condensate part of the Karachaganak, Astrakhan, and Yamburg deposits, it is shown that absorption hydrocarbons (absorption oil) contain polar components with S and O atoms in molecules. The differences in the physicochemical properties of absorbed oil and precipitated liquid condensate are revealed, as are the regularities in the composition and properties of the absorbed oil and condensate. The criteria for division of absorption oil and liquid condensate are given.
