• Porosity• Permeability
Porosity-The fraction of the bulk volume of the reservoir that is not occupied by the solid framework of the reservoir.
𝜙=𝑉 𝑏−𝑉 𝑔𝑟
𝑉 𝑏
𝜙= porosity= bulk volume of the reservoir= grain volume
Permeability-A measure of the ability of a porous material (often, a rock or unconsolidated material) to allow fluids to pass through it.
𝑘=𝑞 µ𝐿𝐴𝑐 𝛥𝑃
q= volume flow rateL=length of core sampleA=areaP= pressure changeµ=viscosity of the fluid
