When to use Fractional Flow Water
Use this geological calculation for a transparent first-pass interpretation of measured rock, soil, fluid, well, stratigraphic, isotopic, geophysical, or seismic data under an explicitly selected model.
- krw

- kro
- Oil relative permeability.
- Mu w
- Water viscosity in millipascal seconds.
- Mu o
- Oil viscosity in millipascal seconds.
How Fractional Flow Water works
Compute the water fractional flow fw from relative permeabilities and viscosities, neglecting gravity and capillary pressure. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- fw
- Water fractional flow between zero and one.
Limitations and assumptions
- Petroleum correlations are fluid-, pressure-, temperature-, and region-dependent. PVT sampling, phase behavior, relative permeability, capillary pressure, heterogeneity, aquifer support, well constraints, history match, and units affect forecasts and reserves.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Compare independent measurements and models, retain units and analytical metadata, propagate uncertainty, and validate interpretations against logs, cores, maps, laboratory data, or field observations.
