Abstract:The importance of permeability cannot be under-stimated. It is used in crucial equations used to determine quantities analysed by reservoir, drilling, and production engineers. Using permeability along with other properties is important to understanding reservoir behaviour when wells are drilled, to calculate the rate of the fluid flow, as illustrated by Darcy's equation that relates fluid flow to permeability. Measuring permeability in the laboratory with the conventioanl available steady-state equipment can … Show more
