Abstract

The oil-water relative permeability curve is the basis for the study of oil-water two-phase flow, and is indispensable for the calculation of oilfield development parameters, dynamic analysis and reservoir numerical simulation. In the absence of oil-water relative permeability curve, how to obtain the oil-water relative permeability curve with high accuracy that can represent the percolation characteristics of the whole area and ensure the reliability of the obtained data has very important practical significance, which is the premise for carrying out the above research work. The characteristic curve of type C water drive belongs to the linear relationship of cumulative output, which has the advantages of strong stability and more reliable results compared to other water drive curves. In this paper, oil-water relative permeability curve is calculated based on C-type water drive curve, and the formula for calculating relative permeability curve using C-type water drive curve is derived in detail, and the specific calculation steps are given. The reliability of the obtained relative permeability curve is verified by examples. Through actual data verification, the oil-water relative permeability curve obtained by the method in this article takes into account the heterogeneity of the reservoir, conforms to the percolation characteristics of the oilfield, and is basically consistent with the actual production situation, which has certain practicality.
