We consider the nonlinear partial differential equation of time-fractional type describing the spontaneous imbibition of water by an oil-saturated rock (double phase flow through porous media). The fact that oil and water form two immiscible liquid phases and water represents preferentially wetting phase are the basic assumption of this work. The Homotopy Analysis Method is used to obtain the saturation of injected water. We obtain the graphical representationof solution using MATLAB $R2007b$ and Microsoft Excel $2010$ with different fractional order $(\alpha>0)$ and the comparison is made with the solution obtained in [23] using Adomian Decomposition Method when $\alpha=1$ including numerical values.
