Improved quantification of the porosity–permeability relationship of limestones using petrographical texture

Abstract: The relationship between porosity and permeability in limestones is a fundamental constitutive equation in subsurface fluid flow modelling, and is essential in quantifying a range of geological processes. For a given porosity, the permeability of limestones varies over a range of up to five orders of magnitude. Permeability of a given rock sample depends on the total amount of pore space, characterized by porosity, as well as how the pore space is distributed within the rock, which can be expressed as a probab… Show more

Zhang et al (2018) used micrite content as a quantitative texture descriptor in multivariable regression and neural network models to predict permeability from porosity in the same reservoir. The uncertainty in permeability prediction was reduced from five to two orders of magnitude if micrite content was considered.…”

“…The porosity-permeability relationship in limestone varies in a range of several orders of magnitude. Permeability depends on pore space, which is characterized by the porosity and pore size distribution in a rock sample [45,46]. In many sandstone and carbonate reservoir rocks, plotting porosity vs. logarithm of permeability is often a linear function.…”
