Effect of Temperature, Wettability and Relative Permeability on Oil Recovery from Oil-wet Chalk

It is customary, for convenience, to use relative permeability data produced at room temperature. This paper shows that this practice underestimates oil recovery rates and ultimate recovery from chalk rocks for high temperature reservoirs. Above a certain temperature (80°C in this work) a reducti...
