Capillary pressure is a function of reservoir saturationpermeability and wettability.

One of the strong assumptions in reservoir fluid dynamic modelling is that 3-phase capillary pressure is a function of one saturation only:

p_{cog} = p_{cog}(s_o)



a function of oil saturation only

p_{cow} = p_{cow}(s_w)



a function of water saturation only

Mathematical model of capillary pressure is given by interpolation of laboratory data and also by a number of physical and empirical capillary pressure correlations
