Permeability: Can directly be correlated with Porosity?
Having known that ‘Porosity’ remains just as a ratio and does not depend the pore-size explicitly, while ‘Permeability’ explicitly depends on the solid grain sizes and in turn the diameter of the pore sizes;
Under what circumstances, the traditional (existing) correlations between Permeability and Porosity holds good in Sandstone Reservoirs (leaving aside its correlation in Fractured/Carbonate Reservoirs)?
Dear Suresh Kumar Govindarajan, more general : diffusability, that covers all parameters, porosity, surface chemistry and interactions (usually refered as inertia or retention, and friction), applied gradient (pressure, concentration, ...), temperature, and so on. My Regards
Dear Suresh Kumar Govindarajan . Porosity is more associated with storage of water, while permeability is more associated with groundwater movement and flow. See the link: https://sitesmedia.s3.amazonaws.com/creekconnections/files/2014/03/PorosityPermeability-activity.pdf
