Conclusions

The highest value of vertical hydraulic conductivity calculated for these samples is 7.30 × 10^–7 cm/s with corresponding intrinsic permeability of 7.25 × 10^–16 m². The lowest value of vertical hydraulic conductivity is 1.06 × 10^–8 cm/s (1.05 × 10^–17 m²). The highest value of horizontal hydraulic conductivity is 5.01 × 10^–7 cm/s (4.97 × 10^–16 m²), and the lowest value of horizontal hydraulic conductivity is 1.35 × 10^–8 cm/s (1.34 × 10^–17 m²). The mean anisotropy ratio for permeability is 1.15, and the range for anisotropy ratio is 0.44–1.56. Imaging of the microfabric shows that arrangements of particles are mostly random. A majority of values for the standard deviation of grain orientation from vertical sections are greater than those from horizontal sections. The indexes of microfabric orientation do not show a systematic trend with increasing burial depth.
