Brief
Mobility Ratio determines the relative rate of one fluid to another (etc. water to oil).
oil is dominant flowing phase, stable flow.
water preferentially flows in the reservoir, unstable flow, fingering.
Equation
where
= oil formation volume factor, m3/m3
= water formation volume factor, m3/m3
= relative water phase permeability, function of the phase saturation, fraction
= oil phase permeability, function of the phase saturation, fraction- = relative oil phase permeability, function of the phase saturation, mD
= water phase permeability, function of the phase saturation, mD
= mobility ratio, fraction
= oil viscosity, cP
= water viscosity, cP
= oil rate, cc/sec
= water rate, cc/sec
Rule of thumb:
Example
Determine the Mobility Ratio using the following data[1]:
Core is at 70% water and 30% oil saturation. Water phase permeability is 248 mD, oil phase permeability is 50 mD. Water viscosity is 1 cP, oil viscosity is 3 cP.
In this case the mobility of water is 15 times higher than the mobility of water.
