Key words: wettability, capillary pressure, centrifuge, drainage, imbibition, pore distribution, saturation, core.
The article describes a new experimental method for determining the oil and water distribution in the pore space of core samples. The authors present a comparison of processes of drainage and capillary imbibition. Evaluation of existing methodologies is provided. The method and device of modern ultracentrifuge is described.
