==Permeability==
[[Permeability]] is related to pore throat size, distribution, and interconnectedness. It is a measurement of the rate at which fluids move through a pore system. The properties of the fluids present in the pores also control the rate at which they move through the system. [[Permeability]] is inversely related to the viscosity of the fluid moving through the pores. The presence of more than one immiscible phase in the pore system reduces the [[permeability]] of each phase below what it would be if it were the only phase present. Permeability measurements are dominantly taken in sands for reservoir engineering purposes and rarely in shales because of difficulties in getting good measurements. Also, permeabilities derived from cores are characteristically lower than those measured during production tests.
