Hysteresis has a significant role in evaluating hydrocarbon recovery and better
understanding fluid flow in porous media. In this paper, a comprehensive review of research
on the hysteresis of capillary pressure (P c) and its applications in petroleum engineering
are reported. Both theoretical and experimental investigations of hysteresis of P c is
compared and discussed in detail. The review highlights a range of concepts in existing
models and experimental processes for hysteresis of P c in porous media. Furthermore, this …
