VALIDITY OF PERMEABILITY ESTIMATION FROM PUBLISHED CORRELATIONS

Permeability is classified as one of the most critical properties of the porous medium.
In general permeability is defined as its ability to allow fluids to flow rapidly through
the rocks. Numerous researchers have proposed empirical models for permeability
determination. Over and over again, these relationships are utilized to make vital
conclusions without proper regard. Thus, accurate knowledge of permeability in
reservoir is very critical. The objective of this study is to identify the validity of
selected permeability relationships through correlations of different physical
properties.
