Permeability / hydraulic conductivity. The permeability map that we chose
comes from a numerical ground-water flow model developed by Jorgensen and
others (1996). The rock matrix consists of low-porosity mudstones and
dolomudstones. However, the permeability map of Jorgensen and others (1996) is
regional in scope and does not reflect local differences in porosity and
permeability. Therefore, one must realize that because of dissolution and
dolomitization, the Arbuckle Group rocks are locally some of the most porous and
permeable in the Mid-Continent region. It is often true that reported porosity and
permeability values are much lower than the true values (Puckette, 1996).
Puckette offered two examples of this phenomenon. The producing section of
Cottonwood Creek field, Carter County, Oklahoma, has produced more than
4,000 bopd. Yet the reported porosity and permeability are 2 to 3 percent and less
than 0.01 millidarcy, respectively (after Read and Richmond, 1993). In large part
this is due to the nature of the karsted rock, which during coring yields
proportionately much more of the low-porosity rock than the porous, sometimes
brecciated and cavernous zones (Puckette, 1996). |
