1 0 0 % water saturated core sample was first applied to water injection with the rate of 0 . 5 c m 3 s

100% water saturated core sample was first applied to water injection with the rate of 0.5cm3s for determination of absolute permeability. Second of all, the steady-state method was used, and finally oil flooding rate of 0.38cm3s was injected in order to reach initial conditions of (Swi,Soi). Drainage curves of relative permeability data were presented at the table.
Cross-sectional area of core, A=5cm2, core length, L=3cm
Viscosity of water, w=1.0cp, viscosity of oil, o=1.25cp
Pressure at inlet and outlet face of core, P1=2atm and P2=1atm, respectively.
Effective permeability data
\table[[Sw,%,30**,40,60,80,90,100],[kw,md,0.0,6,18,90,180,300],[ko,md,285,187.5,75,7.5,3,0]]
Critical value )=(0.30
a) Calculate effective brine permeability at )=(1.0.
b) Calculate effective oil permeability at )=(0.30.
c) Plot the graph of effective permeabilities with respect to water saturation (kw,ko)-Sw.
d) Calculate the relative permeability values and plot the graph (krw,kro)-Sw if )=(1.0 is taken as absolute permeability.
