In petroleum engineering, a minipermeameter is a gas-based device for measuring permeability in porous rocks.
[1] Minipermeametry has been used in the oil industry since the late 1960s (Eijpe and Weber, 1971) without becoming in any way a standard experimental method in core analysis or reservoir characterisation.
The laboratory minipermeametry can make important contributions both as an improved methodology within experimental petrophysics and as a source of data invaluable in routine reservoir characterisation (C. HALVORSEN AND A. HURST, 1990) The values obtained from the minipermeameter should possibly be calibrated by a Klinkenberg correction https://web.archive.org/web/20110728002022/http://www.scaweb.org/assets/papers/1990_papers/1-SCA1990-27EURO.pdf
