Preliminary studies of two-phase effects on pressure transient data
In this paper we perform scoping calculations on the effects of two-phase zones on well pressure transients. Three different cases are considered. The first is that of a fully two-phase system (e.g. Krafla, Iceland). Some of the complexities of this type of system are discussed. The second problem i...
