Abstract
A reservoir simulator CHARGR is employed in its one dimensional radial mode to investigate the buildup behavior of (1) initially two phase reservoirs and of (2) initially single phase reservoirs which undergo flashing as a result of fluid production. Buildup data from initially two phase reservoirs can be analyzed in the usual manner to yield the total kinematic mobility. It also shows that the buildup data from initially single phase reservoirs which undergo flashing on production offers the possibility of determining absolute formation permeability.
