Claim One:
1. A process for determining, for a reservoir containing fluids (W, O), the variation in the relative permeability (krO, krW) of at least one of the fluids in the reservoir, as a function of the saturation of at least one of the fluid (W, O),), the method comprising: a) determining, for one of the fluids of the reservoir, a saturation distribution on the basis of a measurement (SDM) of a physical property in the reservoir; b) creating a dynamic model for the flow of fluids in the reservoir; (c) generating a simulated saturation distribution (SSD) by the dynamic model; (d) comparing the SSD with the (SDM); (e) if SSD and SDM do not substantially coincide, updating the dynamic model with intermediate relative permeability values (krO) i and (krW) i and repeating steps b and c.
