Relative permeability end points were obtained from laboratory measurements of core plugs. The shape of the effective relative permeability curves for the whole field was obtained through the process of history matching the whole field production with the recorded production data.

Capillary pressure measurements were carried out on 18 core plugs. The effective capillary pressure curve was selected from this set of recorded capillary pressures and it is the best fit curve displaying an asymptotic rise at the irreducible water saturation that was obtained from the relative permeability curves.
