Q1 A cylindrical core sample with a radius of 0.75” and length of
2” has a pore volume of 1.033 in3 ?

Calculate :

1. Grain Volume .
2. Porosity .

Solution

1. Grain volume :

𝑉𝑏 = 𝜋𝑟 2 𝑙 = 3.14 × (0.75)2 × 2 = 3.533 𝑖𝑛3

𝑉𝑔 = 𝑣𝑏 − 𝑣𝑝 = 3.533 − 1.033 = 2.5 𝑖𝑛3

2. Porosity :

 Q2 A core sample is saturated with an oil (ρo = 35° API), gas and
water. The initial weight of the sample is 224.14 g. After the
gas is displaced by water (ρw = 1 g/c.c), the weight is
increased to 225.90 g. The sample is placed in a Soxhlet
distillation apparatus, and 4.4 c.c water is extracted. After
drying the core sample the weight is now 209.75 g. the
sample bulk volume is 95 c.c .

Find the porosity, water saturation, oil saturation, gas

saturation of the core sample.

Hint: the oil density is ρ (g/c.c) = 141.5/ (131.5 + API) ?
