Description
Summary:The paper deals with the issues of determining Brooks-Corey model parameters in the approximation of capillary curves under the conditions of productive strata of Western Siberia. It was emphasized that in the conditions of reservoirs of Western Siberia, there are close correlations between current water saturation of capillary curves at fixed values of capillary pressure and reservoir properties (absolute permeability, residual water saturation). Using these correlations, the approximation model parameters (initial capillary pressure and capillary curve steepness) were accurately assessed.
