Sizes of Molecules and Pore Throats in Siliciclastic Rocks
This graphic (Nelson 2009) focuses on the size of the material being investigated; in particular, the size of pore throats in sandstones and shales. The lower left corner of the graphic also infers that the measurement of porosity and permeability may be affected by the fluids (gases and liquids) used in the laboratory, through the molecule sizes of those fluids as compared to the molecule sizes of the fluids occupying the rock in the subsurface.
