Darcy’s Law
Definition
One Darcy is defined as the permeability which will permit a fluid of
one centipoise viscosity to flow at a linear velocity of one centimeter
per second for a pressure gradient of one atmosphere per centimeter.

Enhanced Oil Recovery
Propped Hydraulic Fracturing
Whereby fluids are injected at a high rate and at a pressure
which exceeds the formation break down gradient of the
formation.
The rock will then fail mechanically producing a “crack”.
To prevent closure or healing of the fracture, it is propped
open by a granular material.
This techniques increases the effectiveness well bore
radius of the well.
