Abstract

The results of three-phase relative permeability tests on nine water-wet consolidated Berea sandstone samples are presented as composite ternary diagrams showing iso-perms of oil, water and gas. Capillary pressure control was exercised over flow of gas and oil in the presence of water. The water saturations ranged from 17 to 71 percent pore volume. A method of calculating both the oil and water permeability's of a three-phase system from the easily measured gas relative permeability is presented.
