Abstract
Reservoir surveillance always requires fast, unproblematic access and solution to different relative permeability models which have been developed from time to time. In addition, complex models sometimes require in-depth knowledge of mathematics for solution prior to use them for data generation. For this purpose, in-house software has been designed to generate rigorous relative permeability curves, with a provision to include users own relative permeability models, a part from built-in various relative permeability correlations. The developed software with state-of-the-art algorithms has been used to analyze the effect of variations in residual and maximum wetting phase saturation on relative permeability curves for a porous medium having very high non-uniformity in pore size distribution. To further increase the spectrum of the study, two relative permeability models, i.e., Pirson's correlation and Brooks and Corey model has been used and the obtained results show that the later model is more sensitive to such variations.
