Oil and water relative permeabilities are main coefficients in describing the fluid flow in porous media; however, oil and water relative permeability for low - ultra low perm oil reservoir can not be obtained from present correlations. Based on the characteristics of oil and water flow in porous media, the model for calculating the oil and water relative permeability of low and ultra-low perm oil reservoirs, which considering effects of threshold pressure gradient and capillary pressure, has been established. Through conducting the non-steady oil and water relative permeability experiments, oil and water relative permeability curves influenced by different factors have been calculated. Results show that: the threshold pressure gradient more prominently affects the oil and water relative permeability; capillary pressure cannot influence the water relative permeability but only the oil relative permeability. Considering effects of threshold pressure gradient and capillary pressure yields the best development result, and more accordant with the flow process of oil and water in low – ultra low perm oil reservoirs.
