Abstract
The reservoir rock relative permeability values are measured through the Special Core Analysis Laboratory (SCAL) experiments. Because SCAL experiments are expensive and time-consuming, usually a mathematical model is developed to estimate the relative permeability values whereas no SCAL test has been run. The authors compare the accuracy of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and some empirical equations in estimating the two-phase relative permeability values. The final results indicate that ANN is a much more accurate approach than the empirical equations.
