Geophysical Estimation of Permeability in Sedimentary Media with Porosities from 0 to 50%

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to find a relationship between permeability and porosity, in the range 0 up to 50%, so that the permeability could be estimated only through geophysical parameters. This relationship should be consistent with the statistically expected values in sedimentary basins, and it should include the positive correlation between permeability and porosity in consolidated media and the negative correlation in unconsolidated ones.
