Approaches to determining the critical coefficients of water saturation Burdine formulas taking into account the differences in the limits of integration
The article is devoted to the determination of the critical water saturation ratio productive reservoirs. It is necessary to have information about these coefficients in order to interpret the geophysical research wells at the stage of exploration. The print media publish Burdine formulas, which contain definite integrals, to determine the coefficients that need to be solved. In this case, the upper and lower limits of the integrals in the works of different authors don't completely coincide. The author of this article analyses Burdine formulas, which have been published in various print media, and proposes Burdine formulas without integrals. As a result, it is established that Burdine formulas, which are presented in the work [6], are suitable for real conditions; but there should be taken into account the conditions under which the relative phase permeability of oil and water is equal to 0 and 1.
