Accurately predicting permeability of a material such as a rocks of a subsurface fluid reservoir is challenging. An accurate permeability prediction can be generated by receiving input data from a plurality of data sources and deriving vug attribute parameters based, at least in part, on the input data. The vug attribute parameters may be provided to a model configured to generate modelled rock property data. The modelled rock property data may include a probability indicative of vug connectedness of vugs located in rocks of the subsurface fluid reservoir. The probability of vug connectedness may be indicative of a permeability probability of rocks of the subsurface fluid reservoir.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for evaluating permeability of a material, the operations comprising:
A device for evaluating permeability of rock extracted from a rock formation, the device comprising:
A system for evaluating permeability of rock extracted from a rock formation and for predicting a type of fluid flow through the rock formation, the system comprising:
