ABSTRACT

Comparison of hydrocarbon column heights (HCHs) calculated Previous HitfromNext Hit seals recovered in conventional cores with HCHs calculated by using Previous HitcuttingsNext Hit Previous HitfromNext Hit the same interval indicates that mercury/air capillary pressure measurements of Previous HitcuttingsNext Hit can be extremely useful to estimate seal capacity. An empirical adjustment factor (EAF), expressed in psi, needs to be added to the capillary pressure value determined on Previous HitcuttingsNext Hit to approximate that measured with mercury/air capillary pressure of conventional cores.
