Berea directional permeability

Interpretation

Berea is currently the closest of the three DRP-317 rocks. The permeability is still high, but the overshoot is moderate compared with the previous centered-ROI baseline and with the other two sandstone cases.

The remaining gap is aligned with the porosity bias: both the full image and the selected ROI are more porous than the experimental reference, and the extracted network remains more conductive than the measured rock response.
