5 Cases of Distribution of Water Saturation by using JFunction
The distribution of water saturation by using J-function is conducted in 5
cases due to provide several options of the in-place calculation of the field.
The workflow of conducting the distribution in 5 cases will be listed as follow.
1. Region
The reservoir model was divided into 4 regions based on porosity
distribution.
Figure above described the range of porosity that each region will be
divided into as listed below.

Here is the result of the segmentation of the field.
2. Permeability Transform
Porosity-Permeability relationship was also established using the routine
core data taken from AW-BW and CW-DW field. The transformation of
permeability is represented as the character of porosity.
Here is the correlation equation between porosity and permeability that
we can obtained from the figure above.
k = 0.01 e0.32
3. Oil Water Contact
Oil water contact can be generated by Geometrical modeling in Petrel
Properties calculator as shown in below.
4. Capillary Pressure
Capillary pressure can be generated using correlation as shown in below.
Pc_res= (0.435-0.389)*H
Where
Water Gradient = 0.435 psi/ft
Oil Gradient
= 0.389 psi/ft
H
= Height above the oil water contact, ft
5. Laboratory Capillary Pressure
Laboratory capillary pressure can be obtained from reservoir capillary
pressure using correlation below.
Pc_lab = Pc_res*72/26
where (cost)res for Oil-Brine system = 26 mN/m
(cost)lab for Air-Brine system = 72 mN/m
6. Leverett J-Function
J_lab = 0.21645*(Pc_lab/)*Sqrt(k/)
7. Water Saturation (Sw) Distribution
The Sw distribution can be calculated by substituting the Leverett JFunction in the equation below.
Sw= 0.2777*[J(Sw)]-0.2448
where Sw = Water saturation, fraction
J
= Leverett-J Function
All the steps above are summarized in the figure below.
The results of Sw distribution will be shown in figures below.
