Abstract

The main aim of this project is to develop an equation to estimate permeability of sandstone in
Malay basin based on the porosity. This objective is important because having a universal equation of
estimating permeability is impossible, hence different equations and models are proposed in respect to their
formation properties. This equation is proposed in order to be used for sandstone rocks in Malay basin. In
this proposed method, the porosity and permeability are measured, and the results of the testing are used to
create a porosity-permeability relationship curve that is compared to a number of curves generated through
plugging the porosity in other equations. These equations are previous proposal and all of them have
drawbacks, the permeability estimates they result in are compared with the experimental results and the
equations that prove have similar tren
