About Microdarcy

The microdarcy (µD) equals 10⁻⁶ D ≈ 9.869 × 10⁻¹⁹ m², used for tight gas sands, coalbed methane matrix, and low-permeability carbonates. North Sea tight sandstones: 0.01-1 µD; coalbed methane matrix: 1-100 µD; mudrock caprocks: 0.001-1 µD. 1 µD = 10⁻³ mD = 10³ nD.

About Millimetre squared

The millimetre squared (mm²) equals 10⁻⁶ m² ≈ 1.013 × 10⁹ D, representing extremely high permeabilities beyond the range of most geological materials. It appears in geotechnical research for open rock fractures, coarse gravel channel beds, and large-cell open-foam engineered materials. 1 mm² = 10⁶ µm² = 10⁻⁶ m².
