Abstract
Core samples obtained while drilling are usually not true representative of the reservoir due to invasion of mud filtrate. Invasion can lead to wettability alterations affecting the capillary pressure. So to have a capillary pressure data which is true representative of the reservoir, set of correlations has been developed, capable of generating the curves at any wettability, when the laboratory data at any wettability condition(s) is known. To ease the use of developed set of correlations, software has also been developed by accomplishing state-of-the-art programming in Visual Basic.
