Permeability Heterogeneity

Permeability Heterogeneity is a geostatistical characterization of spatial variations in rock permeability that quantifies the degree to which permeability values deviate within a reservoir, distinguishing it from homogeneous permeability distributions by encoding local and large-scale differences in fluid-conducting capacity across porous media.
