Abstract
Numerous studies have been conducted which deal with the effect of different factors on multi-phase flow through porous media. Because of the importance of thermal recovery techniques, researchers have included temperature as an important parameter of investigation. Studies have been completed which investigated the dependence of both absolute and relative permeability on temperature. However, the studies have not yielded consistent results. The existence and nature of a temperature dependency is still subject to discussion. Thus, a continuing need exists to further examine this phenomenon. Most researchers do agree that a temperature dependency does in fact exist; however, it is the nature of the behavior which has not yet been precisely defined.
