Abstract
The estimation of porosity, absolute permeability, and relative permeability-saturation relations in a two-phase petroleum reservoir is considered The data available for estimation are assumed to be the oil flow rates and the pressures at the wells. A situation in which the reservoir may be represented by incompressible flow of oil and water also is considered. A hypothetical, circular reservoir with a centrally located producing well is studied in detail. In principle, the porosity can be estimated on the basis of saturation behavior, absolute permeability on The basis of pressure behavior, and permeability on The basis of pressure behavior, and coefficients in the relative permeability-saturation relations on the basis of both saturation and pressure behavior. The ability to achieve good pressure behavior. The ability to achieve good estimates was found to depend on the nature of the flow in a given situation.
