Session 1:
Q1: What should be the main applications of pore-scale modelling in the oil industry?
Q2: What are the main shortcomings of relative permeability measurements and how can pore-scale modelling help overcome these shortcomings?
Q3: What are essential input data for predicting relative permeability frompore-scale models and how do we collect these data?
Session 2:
Q1: How should research activities best be co-ordinated in order to accelerate the development of pore-scale models as a practical/predictive tool?
Q2: Outline a project proposal for the development of a predictive tool for relative permeability?
