The interrelation of pore geometry, rock properties, and water-oil relative permeability is illustrated with photomicrographs and relative permeability curves of reservoir rocks. Data are shown to be very similar within a given rock type. This fact emphasizes the need to determine the various reservoir rock types and their distribution. Effects of core handling, calculated versus observed waterflood performance, and data-collecting procedures are important factors to consider.
