An analytical water relative model based on the theory of coupled electricity-seepage and capillary bundle pore structure is described. The model shows that the relative permeability of water is affected by two kinds of parameters, which are depicted as static parameters and dynamic parameters. Revised Kozeny-Carman equation and Archie formulas are introduced to deduce the model, which enhance the characterization ability of pore structure. Two displacing states, where we summarized that oil coats capillary walls and oil occupies capillary centers are also discussed for optimization of the model. In contrast to existing empirical formulas where relative permeability is strongly related to capillary pres- sure and fractal dimension, we introduce only water saturation and saturation index as input parameters, which make the model simpler to use. Petrophysics and unsteady relative permeability experiments (oil displacing water) are carried out to testify the two models. The fitting results show that for oil displacing experiments presented in this paper, the displacing state where oil coats capillary walls is suitable to predict the relative permeability of water.
