Darcy
Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000948
A unit of intrinsic permeability, representing the ability of a porous medium to transmit fluids. One darcy corresponds to a flow rate of one cubic centimeter per second of a fluid with one centipoise viscosity through a cross-sectional area of one square centimeter under a pressure gradient of one atmosphere per centimeter. Reservoir rocks typically have permeabilities ranging from millidarcies to several darcies.
