1.5 Consider a shale-free, dry, sandstone core plug. By measure- ment, the following data are known: d=2.54 cm, L=5.00 cm, and mass (dry)=54.8 g. a. Knowing that the grain density of most sandstones is about 2.65 g/cm³, estimate the porosity of the core plug. b. The plug is completely saturated with 145,000-ppm NaCl brine whose specific gravity is 1.1. The mass of the satu- rated core plug is now 60.38 g. Calculate the porosity of the plug. c. Estimate the end-to-end resistance of the saturated core plug in at 80°F.

Question
1.5 Consider a shale-free, dry, sandstone core plug. By measure-
ment, the following data are known: d=2.54 cm, L=5.00 cm,
and mass (dry)=54.8 g.
a. Knowing that the grain density of most sandstones is about
2.65 g/cm³, estimate the porosity of the core plug.
b. The plug is completely saturated with 145,000-ppm NaCl
brine whose specific gravity is 1.1. The mass of the satu-
rated core plug is now 60.38 g. Calculate the porosity of
the plug.
c. Estimate the end-to-end resistance of the saturated core plug
in 2 at 80°F.
