SDR NMR Permeability from T2 Geometric Mean Formula

k=aϕNMR4T2gm2k=a\phi_{NMR}^4T_{2gm}^2

SDR NMR Permeability from T2 Geometric Mean calculates nmr-derived permeability by sdr model for rock properties workflows in petrophysics.

Calculate

How engineers use this formula

Use this formula when the listed inputs (a_SDR, phi_NMR, T2gm) are known and the assumptions behind the cited rock properties relationship match the engineering case being checked.

Assumptions

  • Input values are representative for the well, reservoir, fluid, or equipment case being evaluated.
  • The declared units match the field-unit constants used in the formula.
  • The cited formula applies to the selected petroleum engineering workflow.

Limitations

  • The calculation does not replace a full engineering model or operating procedure.
  • Accuracy depends on the source correlation, assumptions, input quality, and unit consistency.

Common mistakes

  • Mixing unit systems without converting the inputs.
  • Using default example values as field recommendations.
  • Applying the formula outside the source assumptions.

Default example

Using the default inputs, k_SDR equals 59.969536 mD.
