About Millidarcy

The millidarcy (mD) equals 10⁻³ D ≈ 9.869 × 10⁻¹⁶ m², the everyday unit in petroleum reservoir engineering worldwide. Conventional sandstone reservoirs: 1-1 000 mD; carbonate reservoirs: 0.1-100 mD; economic gas recovery typically requires k ≥ 0.1 mD. Permeameter and well-test reports give results in mD. 1 mD = 10⁻³ D = 10³ µD.

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.
