In electromagnetism, permeability is the degree of magnetisation of a material in response to a magnetic field.
In geology, permeability is a measure of the ability of a material to transmit fluids through it.

In SI units, magnetic flux density is measured in tesla, magnetic field strength in ampere per metre and permeability in henrys per metre.
In geology, permeability is a measure of the ability of a material (typically, a rock) to transmit fluids.
For a rock to be considered as an exploitable hydrocarbon reservoir, its permeability must be greater than approximately 100 md (depending on the nature of the hydrocarbon - gas reservoirs with lower permeabilities are still exploitable because of the lower viscosity of gas with respect to oil).
