A property characterising agility of the fluid \alpha-phase under pressure gradient with account of relative permeability and dynamic fluid viscosity:
(1) | \frac{k_{r \alpha}}{\mu_\alpha} |
where
\displaystyle k_{r\alpha} | relative formation permeability to fluid \alpha-phase |
---|---|
\displaystyle \mu_\alpha | dynamic viscosity of fluid \alpha-phase |
In most practical case of a 3-phase fluid model this will be:
\displaystyle \frac{k_o}{\mu_o} | Oil mobility |
\displaystyle \frac{k_g}{\mu_g} | Gas mobility |
\displaystyle \frac{k_w}{\mu_w} | Water mobility |
