Permeability

Permeability

A measure of the ease with which liquids or gas flow through a reservoir rock. Compare this with Porosity. Gas will flow more easily than oil, and so can be recovered from rocks with lower permeability. Permeability is measured in Darcies. Gas reservoirs may have permeabilities of only a few millidarcies.
