This method does not require that the local water saturation of the two phase mixture is known, but requires production history of mass flow and enthalpy from each well. The results were compared to relative permeability curves found in literature and to values from laboratory measurements and revealed that wells within the same field can follow different relative permeability curves. This method enabled us to get relative permeability values for geothermal wells with production history. date: 2015-03 publication: Geothermics volume: 54 publisher: Elsevier Science pagerange: 1-9 id_number: doi:10.1016/j.geothermics.2014.10.004 issn: 0375-6505 official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geothermics.2014.10.004 access_IS-EPOS: limited owner: Publisher citation: Gudjonsdottir, Maria and Palsson, Halldor and Eliasson, Jonas and Saevarsdottir, Gudrun (2015) Calculation of relative permeabilities from field data and comparison to laboratory measurements.
