| Summary: | Relative permeability plays an important role in reservoir characterization, reservoir engineering,
soil science, petroleum engineering, and other industries. Therefore, more effective and efficient
methods have been developed to determine relative permeability. The main objective of the
conducted research is to determine relative permeability data and compare it using the capillary
pressure models of Purcell, Corey, and Brooks-Corey to identify the most suitable model for use.
The research is carried out by conducting drainage porosimetry simulations using the OpenPNM
framework with the Python programming language. From the simulations, data such as capillary
pressure and non-wetting phase saturation are obtained. Subsequently, this data is processed to
obtain other parameters such as wetting phase saturation, normalized saturation, and pore size
distribution index, enabling the calculation of relative permeability using the capillary pressure
models of Purcell, Corey, and Brooks-Corey. The results of these calculations are then plotted with
normalized saturation and subjected to analysis to determine the most appropriate and accurate
capillary pressure model for determining relative permeability. |
