Course objectives
1. to develop an understanding of the basic physical
characteristics of porous media and the fluids contained
therein,
2. to understand and appreciate the mechanisms that drive
fluid flow in porous media and
3. to apply this knowledge to some of the more complex
problems of fluid flow through porous media.

Porosity textural parameters
The sphericity of a grain refers to the dimensions of the grain with respect to a
equi-dimensional sphere.
The roundness is related to the roughness of the grain from angular to smooth.
[After Pettijohn, et al.,1973]
The degree of sorting and packing are dependent upon two
final textural parameters; roundness and fabric of the grains.

Porosity textural parameters
fabric is the composite effect or
framework of the various grains
[After Pettijohn, et al.,1973]

Depth – 1492 ft., Field of view is ~80 microns.
Pore space is blue.
The yellow dye is a stain for potassium feldspar
Observations
• this is a fairly high porosity sandstone.
•Average grain size is less than 10 microns.
Depth – 1497, 100X mag, FOV ~90 microns.
Observations
• Sand grains are coarser and more
well-rounded,
• Less clay content, more anhydrite cement
• Note abundant feldspar (yellow stain, and
relative lack of porosity.
