Bandera Gray directional permeability

Interpretation

Bandera Gray is currently the hardest DRP-317 case for the present voids PNM workflow. Even after switching to the paper-like conductance closure, pressure convention, ROI scan, and pressure-dependent viscosity path, the predicted permeability is still far too high.

This page is therefore the clearest validation signal that the current image-to-network reduction is not yet capturing the flow-limiting structure of the lowest-permeability sandstone in the set.
