A technique was developed for obtaining permeability-porosity relationships in naturally consolidated porous media. Tests were conducted on limestone and sandstone. The results show that the local change of permeability with porosity is an order or magnitude greater than previously reported. The method also may be used for determining mass transfer coefficients in naturally consolidated systems where the acidization rate is diffusion controlled.
