Permeability Transects of Eolian Sands and Their Use in Generating Random Permeability Fields

Summary This paper reports on observations derived from more than 10, 000 permeability measurements taken from eolian sands and their use in generating permeability fields for reservoir simulation input. Results show that classification and statistical measures of variability and spatial correlation (but not mean permeability) are portable between the outcrop and the subsurface.
