Using K<sub>a</sub> and Φ data separately to characterize reservoir rock quality is misleading. Consider the rocks shown in the SEM microphotographs in [[:file:predicting-reservoir-system-quality-and-performance_fig9-16.png|Figure 1]]. Flow unit 1 is a mesoporous, sucrosic dolomite. Its average Φ is 30% and average K<sub>a</sub> is 10 md. Flow unit 2 is a macroporous, oolitic limestone. Its average Φ is 10% and average K<sub>a</sub> is 10 md.
