Hysteresis in Relative Permeability From Cyclic Water-Oil Corefloods
Water injection is a long-standing method for secondary oil recovery, benefiting from favorable water/oil mobility. However, ultimate recovery can be limited by gravity segregation in thick reservoirs, snap-off trapping in water-wet rocks, and low mobility in viscous oil systems. This study investigates relative permea...
