Relative Permeability Module
Purpose
The Relative Permeability module allows users to evaluate the fractional flow of oil and water from a reservoir.
Primary Output
The following curves are the primary interpretations made in this module.
| Curve Name | Description |
|---|---|
| FFW | Fractional flow of water |
| FFHC | Fractional flow of hydrocarbon |
Screenshot showing the relative permeability module with fractional flow of water and hydrocarbon.Discussion
The relative permeability module allows users to calculate the fractional flow of oil and water from a reservoir based on either a Brooks-Corey or Power-law relationship.
This module requires an irreducible water saturation and residual hydrocarbon as inputs. The irreducible Sw can be pulled from the Saturation Height modeling module. The residual HC can either be a user value or can come from a flushed zone saturation.

DCA: Type well curves
In this video I demonstrate how to generate a well set filtered by a number of criteria and generate a multi-well type curve. Before starting this video you should already know how to load your data and create a DCA project. If not, please review those videos. Type well curves are generated by creating a decline that represents data from multiple wells.
DCA: Loading Production data
In this video I demonstrate how to load production and well header data for use in a decline curve analysis project. The first step is to gather your data. You’ll need: Production data – this can be in CSV, Excel, or IHS 298 formats. For spreadsheet formats you’ll need columns for API, Date, Oil, Gas, Water (optional), and days of production for that period (optional). Well header data – this can be in CSV, Excel, or IHS 297 formats.
