M91FG28.JPG|{{figure number|5}}When more than one fluid phase is present, the permeability of one phase is reduced by the presence of the other phases within the pore system. Relative permeability curves display these relationships. The plots show a water- displacing-oil relative permeability curve for a water-wet rock and a water-displacing-oil relative permeability curve for an oil-wet rock (modified from Hawkins, 1992).
