Porosity - Permeability Plots (3)

The crossplot below compares permeability with interparticle porosity for nonvuggy limestones and dolostones and includes statistical reduced-major-axis transforms for each class (dashed lines). Below is a crossplot that shows the porosity-air permeability relationship for various rock-fabric groups in nonvuggy carbonate rocks.

 

 

This crossplot shows the porosity-air permeability relationship for various rock-fabric groups in nonvuggy carbonate rocks.

 

 

The permeability of mud-dominated dolostones increases with dolomite crystal size. The dolomite crystal sizes on this graph range from 10 to 150 microns.
