Abstract
We present in this paper the mathematical theory of segregation in a thick oil-gas-condensate reservoir. The theory takes into account the non-equilibrium effect of the geothermal gradient and the action of the capillary forces, due to which a two-phase transition zone between the gas cap and the oillayer is formed. Analytical solutions of the segregation equations are obtained.
