Rock Properties. Saturation. Wetability. Capillary Pressure
Saturation
Saturation is the proportion of interconnected pore space occupied
by a given phase. For
a gas-oil- water
system.
Wettability
When two immiscible fluids are in contact with a solid surface,
one will tend to spread over or adhere to the solid more than
the other. This is the result of a balance of intermolecular forces
and surface energies between fluids and the solid.
Capillary pressure
Capillary pressure is the average pressure difference existing
across the interfaces between two immiscible fluids, so for an oil-
water system
