Abstract:The relative permeability of oil-water two-phase flow is an important parameter in fractured petroleum reservoirs. It is widely accepted that the sum of relative permeabilities is less than 1. In this study, a series of experiments have been conducted on six rectangular fractures for oil-water two-phase flows. Analytical investigations of the effects of flow rate, aspect ratio, and fracture size on the relative permeability of oil-water two-phase are analysed. Basic fluid flow equations are combined to develop… Show more
