    Abstract:

    Several formulas have been presented to calculate permeability in hydrocarbon sandstone reservoirs by various researchers. This fact that the volume of shale in a sandstone reservoir is the main controlling parameter is the base of this paper. So, the other parameters have been supposed to be fixed such that effect of shale volume can be investigated more easily. In this paper, the relationships between porosity and permeability and between shale volume and permeability have been used to derive a formula for permeability calculation in sandstone reservoirs.
