n: a measure of the ability of a single fluid (such as water, gas, or oil) to flow through a rock formation when the formation is totally filled (saturated) with that fluid. The permeability measure of a rock filled with a single fluid is different from the permeability measure of the same rock filled with two or more fluids. Compare effective permeability, relative permeability.

permeability to a single phase fluid in a cleaned core.

n: a measure of the ability of a single fluid to flow through a rock when another fluid is also present in the pore spaces. Compare absolute permeability. relative permeability.

the permeability of the formation matrix to a particular fluid when two or more phases are present.

n: an igneous rock composed primarily of feldspar, quartz. and mica. It is the most common intrusive rock - that is, it originally solidified below the surface of the earth. Its rock crystals are easily seen by the eye.

common igneous rock. No effective permeability.

n: a method of improved oil recovery in which chemicals dissolved in water are pumped into a reservoir through injection wells to mobilise oil left behind after primary or secondary recovery and to move it toward production wells. The chemical solution includes surfactants or surfactant-forming chemicals that reduce the interfacial and capillary forces between oil and water. releasing the oil and carrying it out of the pores where it has been trapped. The solution may also contain cosurfactants to match the viscosity of the solution to that of the oil to stabilise the solution and to prevent its adsorption by reservoir rock. An electrolyte is often added to aid in adjusting viscosity. Injection of the chemical solution is followed by a slug of water thickened with a polymer. which pushes the released oil through the reservoir. decreases the effective permeability of established channels so that new channels are opened. and serves as a mobility buffer between the chemical solution and the final injection of water.

n: 1. a measure of the ease with which a fluid flows through the connecting pore spaces of rock or cement. The unit of measurement is the rnilIidarcy. 2. fluid conductivity of a porous medium. 3. ability of a fluid to flow within the interconnected pore network of a porous medium. See absolute permeability, effective permeability, relative permeability.

n: the units of permeability are darcies or millidarcies.

n: a polymer whose basic repeating unit, or rnonorner, is a cornbination of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Polyacrylarnides are used to adjust the viscosity of water slugs during chernical flooding operations. They can also adhere to the walls of rock pores, decreasing the effective permeability of established channels, forcing the injection fluid into new channels, and thus irnproving sweep efficiency.

n: polymer with a high molecular weight. The basic repeating unit or monomer of polyacrylamide is a combination of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Polyacrylamides increase the viscosity of the water slug that precedes the final water injection. Polyac

a polymer with a very stable carbon chain. A good friction reducer in small amounts, but the polymer may cause formation damage. Can be used to gel acid, but the polymer will not break.

n: the ratio of effective permeability to absolute permeability. The relative permeability of rock to a single fluid is 1.0 when only that fluid is present. and 0.0 when the presence of another fluid prevents all flow of the given fluid. Compare absolute penneability. effective permeability.

the permeability to a specific fluid based on permeability at 100% saturation of that fluid, when two or more fluids occupy the pore space. The relative permeability may change with changing fluid saturation.
