Two-Phase Relative Permeability Curves of Bingham Heavy Oil Under Different Types of Wettability: A Theoretical Model by Qing Wang, Yu Li, Chao Peng, Jiao Peng, Jingyu Fu, Renjie Liu, Huiqing Liu, Jiaxin Li, Hao Peng

“…The results of the modified two-phase relative permeability show a decrease in water saturation interval corresponding to the two-phase flow area and a smaller value of permeability at equal two-phase relative permeability. The oil–water viscosity ratio in the hydrophobic pores affects the water-phase relative permeability, although the magnitude of its influence diminishes as the viscosity ratio increases. …”
