| Abstract: | We have extended the Alemán-Slattery model to provide a self-consistent prediction for the residual saturation of the intermediate-wetting phase. Previous experimental studies of three-phase relative permeabilities are critiqued. Only a portion of the data of Oaket al. (J. Petrol. Tech. 42 (1990) 1054) and Oak (SPE/DOE 20183, Society of Petroleum Engineers, 1990) is regarded as suitable for comparison with available models. While the extended Alemán-Slattery model appears to give the best representation of these data, a definitive conclusion is premature. |
