Question: Problem # 1 : A porous medium would have a permeability of 1 D when a fluid having viscosity of 1 c p flows through

Problem #1: A porous medium would have a permeability of 1D when a fluid having viscosity of 1cp flows through a cross-sectional flow area of 1cm2 at a rate of 1cm3sec under a pressure gradient of 1atmcm which can be written as Darcy =(cm3sec)(cp)(cm2)(atmcm), whereas in oilfield units, Darcy's law can be expressed as follows: q=-0.001127kALP where, q is bbl/day,k is in mD,P is in psi, A is in ft2,L is in ft, and is cp. Develop the coefficient 0.001127 of linear flow system when converting form lab units to oilfield units.
