Connate Water "stuck" water surface tension makes some of the water "cling" to the inside wall of the pores Petroleum Technology Program

When oil is produced with connate water Oil permeability = Absolute Oil + Gas

When oil is produced with connate water Oil permeability = Absolute Oil + Gas flowing together: Relative Permeability curves Petroleum Technology Program ko kg k k

Two-phase flow gas in presence of oil OR oil in presence of gas Petroleum

Two-phase flow gas in presence of oil OR oil in presence of gas Petroleum Technology Program

Permeability k = absolute ko = oil permeability Two phase flow kg = gas

Permeability k = absolute ko = oil permeability Two phase flow kg = gas permeability Petroleum Technology Program not absolute
