abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">In this paper we develop a pseudo function approach to
obtain relative permeabilities for the numerical simulation of
three-dimensional petroleum reservoirs. This approach follows the idea
of an experimental approach and combines an analytical solution
technique for two-phase flow with a numerical simulation technique for
cross-sectional models of these three-dimensional reservoirs. The
advantages of this pseudo function approach are that the heterogeneity
of these reservoirs in the vertical direction and various forces such as
capillary and gravitational forces can be taken into account in the
derivation of the relative permeabilities. Moreover, this approach
considers more physical and fluid factors and is more robust and
accurate than the experimental approach. To reservoir engineers, the
study of pseudo functions for the cross-sectional models of different
types itself is the study of numerical simulation sensitivity of
displacement processes in reservoirs. From this study they can
understand the reservoir production mechanism and development indices.</p>},
