Rock Compressibility Estimation

Description

Estimate rock (formation) compressibility using Newman's correlations. Rock compressibility is critical for material balance calculations and pressure transient analysis.

Newman Correlations:

  • Sandstone: Higher compressibility at low porosity
  • Limestone: Generally lower compressibility than sandstone

Compare capillary pressure curves using Brooks-Corey and Van Genuchten models. Includes Leverett J-function for scaling between different rock types.

Corey Relative Permeability Curves

Generate oil-water relative permeability curves using the Corey power-law model. This simple model requires only endpoint values and exponents, making it ideal for screening studies.

Honarpour Gas-Oil Relative Permeability

Generate gas-oil relative permeability curves using Honarpour et al. (1982) empirical correlations. Separate equations for sandstone (Eq A-4, A-5) and carbonate (Eq A-9, A-10) rock types.

LET Relative Permeability Curves

Generate oil-water relative permeability curves using the LET (Lomeland-Ebeltoft-Thomas) correlation. This model offers more flexibility than Corey for matching laboratory data.

Relative Permeability Model Comparison

Compare relative permeability predictions from Corey, LET, and Honarpour correlations. Model selection affects waterflood performance predictions.

Stone Three-Phase Relative Permeability

Calculate three-phase oil relative permeability using Stone I and Stone II models. These models combine two-phase water-oil and gas-oil data to predict oil mobility when all three phases are present.
