Standing’s Relative PermeabilityCorrelation (Part 1--Introduction)
Review of Effective Permeability • Effective permeability is a function of • pore size & pore size distribution • wettability • saturation • saturation history
Review of Relative Permeability • The base permeability can be • ka, dry air permeability at patm • k, absolute permeability • ko]Siw, oil permeability at irreducible water saturation
Saturation History • Nomenclature • drainage: kro]dr • imbibition: kro]imb • Water-oil system, water wetting
Saturation History • Nomenclature • drainage: kro]dr • imbibition: kro]imb • Gas-oil system, liquid wetting
Saturation History • Application • Data must match reservoir process
Fundamental Concepts • Fluids in pores are under capillary control • krw depends on mobile water, (Sw-Siw) • krg depends on gas present, Sg • kro depends on oil present, So, and the pore size in which it lies • Each fluid moves through separate groups of pores and tends to block flow of other fluids
