Berea Sandstone - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Permeability of the Berea Sandstone was measured as a function of both confining pressure and pore pressure. As expected, permeability decreased with increased confining pressure and increased with increasing pore pressure. However, pore pressure had a significantly larger effect on permeability than did confining pressure.

Abstract. X-ray diffraction, base exchange studies and core flood tests were made to explain the reduction in permeability of Berea sandstone which results from changing the salinity of flood water. It was shown that the reduction of permeability is related to the exchangeable cations on the clays and to particle morphology.

Permeability - Berea Sandstone™ Petroleum Cores In geology, permeability is a measure of the ability of a material (typically, a rock or unconsolidated alluvial material) to transmit fluids through it. It is of great importance in determining the flow characteristics of hydrocarbons in oil and gas reservoirs, and of groundwater in aquifers.

Berea sandstones generally do not suffer from permeability reduction during a brine flood. Neglecting the effects of capillary pressure, the model was used to simulate the two-phase flow test. Relative permeability data were obtained by matching the simulated results with the measured pressure drop across the core as shown in Figure 11-3.
We develop a model for predicting porosity and permeability changes in Berea sandstone. The model has been kept as simple as possible in order to facilitate incorporation of the model into existing mechanics codes. For this reason we assume the existence of a separate material model capable of predicting the stress-strain response of the rock.
