There are different relative permeability models to simulate an oil flow in porous medium at oil displacement by water and gas. These models allow to having an oil phase behavior in the presence of water and gas (e.g. Stone model). However, there are no similar models for gas displacement by water and retrograde condensate (it drops out from gas when the reservoir pressure decreases). Also there are no models generating relative permeability for fluids displacing oil or gas. The model proposed in the article allows generating relative permeability for gas, water and condensate at gas displacement by water and condensate and also for oil, gas and water at oil displacement by gas and water.
