| Abstract | The interrelation between capillary pressure, resistivity and relative permeability has been treated lately (Li, 2010). However, it is necessary to make a distinction for these properties when a Naturally Fractured Reservoir is characterized. Naturally Fractured Reservoirs present several heterogeneities, and a lot of parameters behave different in those media within a single reservoir. Often the rock in the reservoir is discretized as matrix and fractures network. The purpose of this paper is to provide a methodology to characterize the capillary pressure, the resistivity and the relative permeability in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs, using data from well logs or from laboratory. |
