The problem of filtration of a gas-condensate mixture 
near the operating well with a hydraulic fracture has been investigated. 
It was assumed that flow is three-dimensional in the matrix and two-dimensional 
on the fracture. It has been shown that for steady-state flow, the 
problem is split into a purely physicochemical problem on phase transitions 
and a nonlinear partial boundary-value problem for the pressure field. 
An example of numerical solution for the fracture with a prescribed 
conductivity field has been given.
