Pore-fluid interaction

Pore–fluid interaction determines the amount and rate of hydrocarbon recovery. Reservoir pore throat radius, buoyancy pressure, and fluid properties are the main elements controlling pore–fluid interaction. Since direct observation of pore–fluid interaction in the reservoir is impossible at present, capillary pressure and relative permeability analysis of rocks yields the most insight into the behavior of fluids in a particular pore system.
