Presently, there are few methods available for analyzing pressure transient data from two-phase reservoirs. Methods published in the oil and gas literature (Earlougher, 1977) have been adapted for analyzing data from geothermal reservoirs, assuming a uniform initial steam saturation. However, it is...
