Methods to obtain the oil-water relative permeability.

Laboratory measurement methodSteady-state method
Unsteady-state methodJBN methodJohnson, Bossler, and Naumann (1959)
Improved JBN methodGivan (1989) and Li (1994) consider the capillary pressure
Song et al. (2000) considers the pseudo-starting pressure gradient
Ren et al. (2018) consider the characteristics of nonlinear seepage
