GASWATER
(1) k_{rgw}(s_g) = k_{rgwc} \, \bigg[ \frac{ s_g - s_{grw} }{ 1- s_{wi} - s_{grw} } \bigg]^{n_{gw}}
(2) k_{rwg}(s_w) = k_{rwgc} \, \bigg[ \frac{ s_w - s_{wcg} }{ 1- s_{wcg} - s_{grw} } \bigg]^{n_{wg}}

current gas saturation, s_o = 1 - s_w

current water saturation, s_w = 1 - s_o

Residual gas saturation to water displacement,

below which gas is immobile

critical water saturation to gas  displacement,

below which water is immobile

maximum gas relative permeability to water displacementmaximum water relative permeability to gas  displacement
gas relative permeability curvature to water displacementwater relative permeability curvature to gas displacement


where  s_{wi} is initial water saturation which maybe equal to critical  s_{wсg} or less than critical  s_{wi} < s_{wcg} like for example in petroleogenetic rocks.

The model assumes no oil presence in pores.
