Wettability Effect on Relative Permeability

Description

Compare relative permeability curves for different wettability conditions using Ibrahim-Koederitz correlations. Wettability significantly impacts waterflood efficiency.

Wettability Characteristics:

  • Water-wet: Oil floats on water film, favorable for waterflood
  • Intermediate: Mixed wettability, complex behavior
  • Oil-wet: Water beads up, less efficient waterflood
