Lecture about Pereability PPT
Understanding Permeability in Oil Reservoir Rocks: Key Concepts from the Lecture Permeability is a fundamental property of reservoir rocks that directly impacts the flow of fluids , including oil and gas, within a reservoir . In this article, I will outline the essential points covered in a detailed lecture on permeability , which you can download for free at the end of this post. Understanding Permeability in Oil Reservoir Rocks: Key Concepts from the Lecture What is Permeability? Permeability refers to the ability of a rock to transmit fluids through its pore spaces. It plays a crucial role in determining how easily oil and gas can be extracted from a reservoir . Permeability depends on the size, shape, and connectivity of the pores in the rock, and it is typically expressed in millidarcies (mD). Types of Permeability The lecture explains various types of permeability : Absolute Permeability: This is the permeability of a rock when it is fully saturated with a single fluid, suc
