In [[:file:predicting-reservoir-system-quality-and-performance_fig9-25.png|Figure 2]], flow unit 1 is a sucrosic dolomite. On a face of a plug of flow unit 1, a very large number of very small pore throats (capillaries) occur, resulting in a measurable flow (Q). That Q, at a measured cross-sectional area A of the plug, yields a K_a of approximately 20 md.

That Q, at a measured cross-sectional area A of the plug, yields a K_a of approximately 20 md.

The sample from flow unit 2 with the same A has fewer, larger pore throats (capillaries) exposed in the face of the plug. If the Q for flow unit 2 is slightly lower than flow unit 1, then the K_a will be lower (by using the same A).
