Binning Core Data to improve Permeability Prediction By Andy May Acknowledgement: Brad Browning of Kerr-McGee contributed to this study.
“There are lies, damned lies and Statistics” Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) Fitting a line through logarithms is not the same as fitting a line to the numbers themselves.
2.5% bins Binned best fit line Non-binned best fit line
Log/Linear best fit line is always lower than binned Average of 0.1 and 10 = 5.05 Average of Log(0.1) and Log (10) = Log(1) 5.05 - 1 = 4.05 Flow is linear with permeability according to Darcy
