The goal was to compare the relative permeabilities from measurements using fluid of geothermal origin to known relative permeability curves, and to examine the effect of parameter variations. Due to high sensitivity to intrinsic (absolute) permeability, the data spread was large. Nevertheless, the Corey curves seem to be an appropriate curve for relative permeability functions. The results give insight into the behavior and characteristics of flashing of hydrothermal fluid in liquid dominated geothermal reservoirs. date: 2015-01 publication: Geothermics volume: 53 publisher: Elsevier Science pagerange: 396-405 id_number: doi:10.1016/j.geothermics.2014.08.006 issn: 0375-6505 official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geothermics.2014.08.006 access_IS-EPOS: limited owner: Publisher citation: Gudjonsdottir, Maria and Palsson, Halldor and Eliasson, Jonas and Saevarsdottir, Gudrun (2015) Calculation of relative permeabilities of water and steam from laboratory measurements.
