Abstract

Summary

The Plastic percolation model of relative permeability allows to note that the behavior of relative permeability curves for power-law fluids depends on differential pore radius distribution function. It was marked that with average pore radius decrease the following tendencies were observed: pseudoplastic fluids relative permeability decreased while dilatant fluids relative permeability increased. This effect was called relative permeability curves reversing behavior. It has physical background but needs experimental confirmation. If it is confirmed there will be the possibility of optimal flooding fluid choice and reservoir development regime correction in case of reservoir fluids rheology data presence.
