Description/Abstract:
TWO EMPIRICAL EQUATIONS ARE PRESENTED FOR DESCRIBING RELATIVE PERMEABILITY AS A FUNCTION OF CAPILLARY PRESSURE. THE MODIFIED GARDNER'S EQUATION APPERS TO FIT THE EXPERIMENTAL DATA BETTER AND IS CERTAINLY EASIER TO USE BECUASE OF ITS SIMPLE FORM. AN EQUATION IS PRESENTED FOR REPRESENTING SATURATION AS A FUNCTION OF CAPILLARY PRESSURE. RESULTS ARE PRESENTED FOR USING THE EQUATIONS TO CALCULATE RELATIVE PERMEABILITY AND DIFFUSIVITY AS FUNCTIONS OF SATURATION
