Abstract:
One of the most important parameters in oil modeling and gas reservoirs is the Relative Permeability, which is a function that involves wetting/non wetting phase saturations and the mineralogy of reservoir rock relative to the pore size distribution.
In this paper, we discuss experimental measuring of relative permeability for a reservoir rock of an oil field formation for two phase flow (Brine and Kerosene). Relative permeability values will be determined at each water saturation value by brine and kerosene injection in core flood apparatus.
Furthermore, relevant relative permeability curves for each phase will be plotted as a function of water saturation value and then, the wetting ability condition of the samples will be recognized through these curves.
Finally, we will try to find a correlation to determine the relative permeability of this oil field.
