This experiment and research reviews important techniques and
procedures for testing core permeability and porosity. In a
reservoir, rock formation permeability and porosity are two of
the most important parameters that indicate how efficient the
reservoir fluid flows through the rock pores into the wellbore.
The experimentation of permeability and porosity helps to gain a
better understanding of what occurs under specific reservoir
conditions. Core permeability and porosity are useful for:
β’ Production rate
β’ Optimal drainage point
β’ Determining depth and spacing of perforation
.
Flow q
Area
Core
Length Ξx
Permeability, as defined by Darcy's Law, is the
measurement of fluid flow through a porous
medium. Core analysis can be performed using a
Liquid Permeameter, Core Laboratories PERL-200,
a device that is able to yield accurate permeability
for a limited range of sample size and permeability.

Porosity is defined as the ratio of the pore volume to
the bulk volume of the rock sample. Core analysis
can be performed using a Gas Porosimeter, Core
Laboratories PORG-200, a device that is able to
yield accurate porosity for a limited range of sample
size and porosity. .
