We describe the flow of two compressible phases in a porous medium. We consider the case of slightly compressible phases for which the density of each phase follows an exponential law with a small compressibility factor. A nonlinear parabolic system including quadratic velocity terms is derived to describe compressible and immiscible two-phase flow in porous media. In one-dimensional space, we establish the existence and uniqueness of a local strong solution for the regularized system. We show also that the saturation is physically admissible. We describe the asymptotic behavior of the solutions when the compressibility factor goes to zero.
