Permeability Estimation Functions Based on Forward Modeling of Sedimentary Heterogeneity

Effective permeability in the inter-well reservoir volume is notoriously difficult to estimate due to its scale dependence and sensitivity to heterogeneity. Using stochastic models of realistic 3D sedimentary heterogeneity at the 10cm to 10m scales, we established a series of functional relationships between effective permeability, bedding type and volume fraction...
