Table 2 Estimated and calibrated permeability across three scales of measurements: (1) Core permeability estimate based on capillary intrusion, (2) packer tests (3) cavity pressurization test. A full list of the 106 packer test measurements in supplemental materials (Supplementary Table S2). All boreholes were used in the packer tests with the exception of DA-1.
