Abstract: The normalized processing of relative permeability data of cores is conducted to get the average relative permeability curves which have be regressed for the particular formula of Kro /Krw vs Swd of the reservoir. The waterflood characteristic curve equations of reservoir are then deduced theoretically. For thin layer reservoir with bottom water (water-free oil rate is close to zero), the linear equations between the logarithm of water/oil ratio and the recovery percent of OOIP are further deduced. The case study shows the theoretically calculated results are very close to the real water production of such a reservoir. So these deduced equations can be applied to predict the water production laws of thin layer reservoirs with bottom water.

Key words: relative permeability curve, waterflood characteristic curve, recovery percent, water cut, water/oil ratio
