Fig. Obtained curve from the table

Area under the curve= -106.11 units

Area under the curve using geometrical interpretation it is approximately equal to
35.73.

If we apply the procedure like Lorentz coefficient we get,

Heterogeneity coefficient = area under the curve/area of rectangle enclosing the

curve=35.73/54.28= 0.65825

As we know that reservoir pressure (Pr) is directly proportional to reservoir

heterogeneity (H) and taking K as the coefficient we get,

Pr = KH

H = Pr/K = 14/0.65825= 21.268
