In its initial state most of the permeable parts of Broadlands field contained a gassy phase fluid. tation, and its recovery, has been successfully modelled as the response of a single, well-mixed lump or blob. two-phase.

This was most strikingly manifested in discharge of dry steam. On recovery the field became wetter: the steam zone disappeared, while from 800 - a zone of single-phase liquid was created. effects were apparent below and it is concluded that this represents the bottom of the extensively permeable reservoir. |
