Reservoir rock saturated by hydrocarbon is a complex system on a macroscopic scale and microscopic scale. The complexity of the rocks and the nature of the fluid that fills these rocks can determine the distribution of hydrocarbons, and the flow rate of fluid in the reservoir. A rock samples may represent a reservoir and can be tested. One purpose of the test was to obtain physical parameters of reservoir rocks such as relative permeability, capillary pressure, porosity, and various parameters of reservoir rocks and fluids that fill it. The physical parameters so far obtained from the Special Core Analysis (SCAL). SCAL is the analysis of rock samples that could only be done in the laboratory. Parameters measurement in SCAL can take a year <br /> <br /> <br /> or more. Because many shortcomings of SCAL, developed the method is Digital Rock Physics (DRP). DRP is a testing method based on physical calculation and simulation on the behavior of fluid flow in porous media. One method for simulating fluid flow is Finite Volume Method (FVM). FVM is a continuum approach based integration of equations that governed fluid flow. This integration approach indicates <br /> <br /> <br /> the equilibrium on the volume control. In this final project, the equation that governed the physical properties of the fluid flow is the Navier-Stokes equations for multiphase flow with Volume of Fluid Method. The simulation will be applied to the digital image 3D micro-CT Berea Sandstone with varied in different size 32 x 32 x 32, 64 x 64 x 64, and 128 x 128 x 128. The sensitivity study was conducted to determine the effective size of the image to calculate the physical parameters of rock that is relative permeability. Simulation of relative permeability calculations performed with a drainage scheme. The relative permeability curves quite good when compared to the experimental result or other simulations results.
