| Summary: | This study analyzes pore size distribution and its impact on permeability across various models
of Fontainebleau sandstone. The primary focus is to understand how the relationship between
homogenity and pore size distribution correlates with permeability values as described by the
Kozeny-Carman equation, evaluated through normal frequency distribution. The study also
examines how total porosity, through porosity, closed porosity, and dead-end porosity affect
permeability. Five models of Fontainebleau sandstone (FTBL, CM, DM, GF, and SA) are
analyzed. Normal distribution curves and standard deviation variations are used to observe
changes in pore distribution. The results indicate that pore size distribution significantly affects
sandstone porosity parameters, with through porosity and pore size homogenity being key
factors determining permeability. The model showing the most effective pore size distribution
for fluid flow is the one with high pore homogenity and optimal pore size distribution. Pore
size distribution and pore size homogenity are crucial factors influencing the permeability of
Fontainebleau sandstone, providing important insights for industrial applications in resource
exploration and extraction.
