Abstract
In real oil reservoirs, the rocks are usually saturated with two or more fluids, such as oil and water, or oil and water and gas. Taking a water-drive reservoir with a local pressure below the saturation pressure as an example, the three phases in it, oil, gas, and water, flow simultaneously and interfere with each other, generating more than one type of capillary effects that resist the flow.
