A set of sandstones plugs from the Vicksburg formation in South Texas gave the following results (Dry conditions, assume ps = 2.65 g/cm3): Diameter: 25.30 mm, 24.90 mm, 25.10 mm Length: 50.30 mm, 50.05 mm, 49.96 mm Weight = 52.1 ± 0.1 g What is the porosity of the sandstone? What is the expected error in porosity?
