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.

About Nanodarcy

The nanodarcy (nD) equals 10⁻⁹ D ≈ 9.869 × 10⁻²² m², the standard permeability unit for ultra-tight unconventional reservoirs. Barnett, Marcellus, and Eagle Ford shale matrix: 1-1 000 nD; crystalline basement rocks and caprocks: below 1 nD. Measured by pulse-decay or GRI crushed-rock methods. 1 nD = 10⁻³ µD = 10⁻⁶ mD.
