1. A method of reducing condensate accumulation in a natural gas well comprising:
determining, by a pressure sensor, a pressure of the natural gas well;
determining, by a temperature sensor, a temperature of the natural gas well;
determining a dew point temperature based on the pressure of the natural gas well;
determining a cricondentherm temperature of the natural gas well;
heating, by controlling power delivered to a heater cable, the natural gas well to a temperature above the dew point temperature; and
preventing, by controlling the power delivered to the heater cable, the temperature of the natural gas well from exceeding the cricondentherm temperature.
