Three-phase displacement experiments for a water-benzyl alcohol-decane system are simulated. Literature experimental three-phase relative permeabilities for the system are used to describe the relative permeabilities in the three-phase region for different three-phase relative permeability models. Saturation trajectories and elliptical regions are mapped in the three-phase region. Simulations are performed to model displacement experiments including breakthrough and the formation of multiple shocks. The model can be used to predict the results for other displacements. In an experiment where significant gravity segregation is present, the displacement is more accurately modeled by assuming a uniform initial condition than by using the actual vertical saturation and assuming no cross flow.
