Abstract
Numerical studies of enthalpy and CO2 transients for wells completed in composite reservoir systems are carried out. Both constant rate and constant pressure production are considered. The results show that relatively small variations in hydrologic parameters and vapor saturation can have large effects on the enthalpy and CO2 content of the produced fluids. Field data are presented that illustrate the theoretical results obtained.
