EMPIRICAL CORRELATION OF OIL EFFECTIVE PERMEABILITY AS A FUNCTION OF P…

ABSTRACT
A poor description of the reservoir characteristics usually poses a unique problem
in exploration and production there by leading to poor development and
management of a reservoir field to yield optimum profit required. An accurate
description is thus a vital key to an improved field development planning and
management. This study illustrates how an integration of empirically determine oil
effective permeability data was correlated as a function of average reservoir
pressure. This is to provide the reservoir engineer with another tool to help him
appreciate the importance of empirically determined data in estimating some
reservoir properties during oil field planning, develop.
