What is absolute permeability
property inherent to the rock and does not depend on the type of fluid used to measure it
1 of 8
when a fluid flows through a tube when is velocity at its maximum
centre
2 of 8
When does linear flow occur?
when flow paths are parallel and the fluid flows in a single direction
3 of 8
When does radial flow occur?
flow is parallel to top and bottom of the reservoir and converges uniformly towards welfare
4 of 8
what is tortuosity?
electrical resistivity measurement between 2-5
5 of 8
what does true resistivity depend on?
depends on the formation of the rock and the amount of formation fluid present in the rock and the resistivity of those fluids
6 of 8
what us Rt?
the true resistivity of formation (0.2 to 2000 ohm-m)
7 of 8
Formation factor
describes the effect of the prescence of rock matrix
