Average permeability for parallel-layered systems

Input(s)

k1k_{1}: Permeability for Layer 1(mD)1(\mathrm{mD})

k2k_{2}: Permeability for Layer 2(mD)2(\mathrm{mD})

k3k_{3}: Permeability for Layer 3(mD)3(\mathrm{mD})

h1h_{1}: Height of Layer 1(ft)1(\mathrm{ft})

h2h_{2}: Height of Layer 2(ft)2(\mathrm{ft})

h3h_{3}: Height of Layer 3(ft)3(\mathrm{ft})

Output(s)

kavg k_{\text {avg }}: Average Permeability for Parallel-layered Systems (mD)

Formula(s)

kavg =k1h1+k2h2+k3h3h1+h2+h3k_{\text {avg }}=\frac{k_{1} * h_{1}+k_{2} * h_{2}+k_{3} * h_{3}}{h_{1}+h_{2}+h_{3}}
