KW - Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF), three-phase porous media flow, capillary pressure,
parameter matching.
AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">Usually extended two-phase capillary pressures are used in three-phase simulations,
because three-phase capillary pressures are not possible or hard to measure.
In this work three-phase capillary pressure surfaces are created by at pore network
model. The input parameters to this network model are found by matching two-phase
capillary pressure curves. This matching is done with a slightly modified EnKF routine.
Tables with three-phase capillary pressures are created and used as input to flow
simulations.</p>
