For 3-phase Oil + Gas + Water fluid model this is going to be:

k_{rw} = k_{rw}(s_w, s_g)

k_{ro} = k_{ro}(s_w, s_g)

k_{rg} = k_{rg}(s_w, s_g)

Mathematical models of relative permeability are called often abbreviated RPM.

The usual practice is to build 2-phase RPM based on SCAL data and then use 3-phase RPM correlations (see table below).

In case the 2-phase SCAL data is insufficient or highly scattered one can use 2-phase RPM correlations (see table below), calibrated to whatever SCAL and production data available.
