As mentioned in the class, the formulation was developed using the Purcell-Burdine capillary pressure relative
permeability concept — i.e., a bundle of capillary tubes. The relations are as follows:
S ∗ 1
∫0 w dSw ∗
0 ∗ 2(1+a) pc 2(1+b)
k rw = k rw (Sw ) 1 1 .................................................................................................(1)

After knowing the equation to be used. The steps in performing curve matching in this case include: First of all
we have to solve the integral in equation (1) and equation (2) so as to produce new equations, equations (4) and
(5) can be seen below:
3λ+2a+2b+2
0 Sw −Swi λ
k rw = k rw [( 1−S )] ................................................................................................................(4)

3λ+2a+2b+2

k rw = k rn (1 − Sw ) λ ..................................................................................................................(5)
After the equation (4) and (5) is obtained, then we must assumed the value of λ, pD, Swi, a, b, korw and korn to
be entered in calculation of equation (4) and (5). After we assumed the value of λ, pD, Swi, a, b, korw and korn
then the curved is not matched then resulted the RMSE value. After we obtained the RMSE value, we must
minimise the RMSE value to get the match value with the actual paper data, then calculated curve can be matched
with data available on the paper. One of the method to find the smallest RMSE value by using solver utility that
available in Microsoft excel with variably altered to matched Pc is λ, pD in the solver. Then to match the krw
value, the variable must be changed is Swi, a, b, korw and korn.
After obtained the smallest RMSE from the solver then the assumed value changed and matched the curve from
manual calculation with the curve generated from data in the paper. Below is the figure of both curve that have
been matched between actual data from the paper and data calculated.

Figure 2. above is matching curve results of Relative permeability vs Sw, from the curve we can see that curve
has been match and the another parameter can be obtained as shown below.

Table above is table with value before curve matching and after curve matching by use microsoft excel. In the
assumed value Table 1. Assumed value resulted un-match calculation then must be re-calculate by using solver
utility on microsoft excel until both curve are matched. Below is actual data of the paper and the result of
calculation by using solver utility in microsoft excel.
