Rock Properties
Permeability (Core / Test)

Air permeabilities measured on clean cores and compared with well tests
Kh test / kh core ratio (average 0.7 in hydrocarbon zone)
Permeability decrease below OWC
Capillary pressure
Initial Sw similar in majority of Ness & Tarbert ~22%
But higher in Ness close to OWC ~30%
Wettability
Capillary tests on preserved and unpreserved cores
Water wet in aquifer and mixed wettability at top of reservoir
Relative permeabilities
SCAL on small plugs to determine Sorw but scatter in measurements
Not fixed for field life : further analysis can be required after start up based
on saturation logging, matching of field performance.
