Brine flood in a 1.9-in-long and 1.5-in-diameter core plug from the North Sea resulted in a stabilized pressure drop of 46.05 psi. The flood was carried out at 0.05 mL/min with brine viscosity of 0.443 cP. Determine the absolute permeability of this plug in millidarcies. I'm not sure about which formula to use, and should I convert inches to cm?
