We study the dynamics of the interface between two incompressible fluids in a two-dimensional porous medium whose flow is modeled by the Muskat equations. For the two-phase Muskat problem, we establish global well-posedness and decay to equilibrium for small class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0001870815003357&_mathId=si1.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0001870815003357&_rdoc=1&_issn=00018708&md5=13a26b9324c3c3a3c21efd627fef9c59" title="Click to view the MathML source">H2class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode"> perturbations of the rest state.

Finally, we show that solutions to the Muskat equations instantaneously become infinitely smooth.
