The article discusses four methods for obtaining functions of relative phase permeability (RPP): 1) approximation of point laboratory data by known correlations of Corey and LET; 2) calculation of RPP by capillary pressure curves using Burdine, Cory and Cory–Brooks models; 3) calculation of RPP by field data; 4) modification of RPP when setting up a hydrodynamic model.Keywords:
