Annotation:

The article discusses the use of machine learning to generate relative phase permeabilities (RPhP) for using them in hydrodynamic models. This approach makes it possible to obtain the form of RPhP functions based on the prepared database of core experiments. Algorithms of mathematical models are described and a software module has been developed with the help of which it becomes possible to automatically obtain the form of relative permeability curves for objects based on the available field data (reservoir type, oil saturation coefficient, porosity, permeability, oil and water viscosities, sample depth, pressure and temperature). Two mathematical models ("Multivariate Linear Regression" and "Random Forest") implemented in Python high-level programming language are considered. The control sample presents the results of the methods convergence with real laboratory studies. The method was tested by applying a retrospective analysis on several objects and conclusions were drawn about the approach applicability.
