Darcy's law states that the flow rate of a fluid through a porous medium is proportional to the pressure gradient across the medium. A Darcy is defined as a flow rate of 1 cc/s through a 1 cm2 cross-sectional area when subjected to a pressure difference of 1 atmosphere across 1 cm of material. The equation relates flow rate, permeability of the material, viscosity of the fluid, and the pressure difference across the material. Mobility is a measure of how easily a fluid can flow through a porous medium and is calculated by dividing permeability by viscosity. Mobility pre-tests may indicate either mud filtrate or formation fluid viscosity depending on factors like fluid composition and probe size.

Darcy’s Law: flow rate is proportional to pressure difference
What is a ‘ Darcy’ ? a pressure difference of 1 atm * over 1 cm gives a flow rate of 1 cc/s through a 1 cm2 area
Equation flow rate permeability pressure differe = x area viscosity
Qx / A = (k / ) x ( P/ x )
*1
Mobility value is depend on the viscosity of the format
Pretest (maximum 20cc) Mobility : Mud Filtrate is the biggest After Pumping (several Liters) Mobility: Formation Fluid is the big permeability In Oil Base Mud system: Mud filtrate = OIL GAS Zone: Pretest Mobility normally less than After Pumping Mo Mobility = because GAS has less viscosity than MUD FILTRAT viscosity OIL Zone: Pretest Mobility can be less, equal or bigger than Aft depend on OIL viscosity WATER Zone: Pretest Mobility normally bigger than After Pumpi because WATER has bigger viscosity than MUD FIL pressure difference
