Abstract
Often difficulties and measurement uncertainties arise in determination of capillary pressure in laboratory experiments. In order to avoid this problem, we have developed a new mathematical model for calculating capillary pressure. The adequacy of fit for this model has been confirmed experimentally and by comparing with literature data. Based on the model, we propose a new and simpler method for calculating the relative permeability of rock.
