Fig. 9From: Petrophysical characterization, BIB-SEM imaging, and permeability models of tight carbonates from the Upper Jurassic (Malm ß), SE Germanya Correlation between permeability values determined by argon and air measurements, including error bars (standard deviation) if available, b permeabilities measured with argon (KAr) and air (KAir) plotted against the corresponding maximum hydraulic length \({l}_{\mathrm{max}}^{h}\) (m), where most of the mercury is injected into the sample as well as the r35 value, corresponding to the pore diameter at 35% mercury saturation. Error bars indicate the standard deviation if available. c Air- and Ar-derived permeability values related to porosities including error bars (standard deviation) if available and method-specific contours in the background for better data range visibility. d Ar permeability distribution across the sampled layers including error bars (standard deviation) if available and e is showing the horizontal permeability variation along bed B1 across a normal fault.
