(b) Only horizontal permeability and porosity data are available
(porosity = 11 %).
(c) Horizontal permeability, porosity, and average grain diameter data
are available (grain diameter = 0.085 mm).

Repeat the above example assuming that the TAG1 formation contains a
high percentage of Illite clay.

SOLUTION

Equal Kaotinite-Illite Model
(a) Using Equation 3.104:
0.9707
kv = 0.598 kH
kv = 0.598(0.58)0.9707 = 0.35 mD

Anisotropy ratio, Equation 3.96:

IA=---- - - 1.657
kv 0.35
(b) Using Equation 3.106:
kv = 0.0535 (E)
