ReineckeWells: Porosity and Permeability Data for the Reinecke Oil Field, Horseshoe Atoll, Texas

Description

These data represent porosity and permeability data from laboratory analysis for the Reinecke Oil Field, Horseshoe Atoll, Texas as used for the outstanding article by Saller and Dickson (2011). Dr. Art Saller shared a CSV file with the author of the copBasic package sometime in 2011. These data are included in this package because of the instruction potential of the bivariate relation between permeability and porosity.

Usage

data(ReineckeWells)

Format

An R data.frame with

DOLOMITE

The fraction of the core sample that is dolomite, 0 is 100 percent limestone;

Kmax

The maximum permeability without respect to orientation in millidarcies;

K90

The horizontal (with respect to 90 degrees of the borehole) permeability in millidarcies;

Kvert

The vertical permeability in millidarcies; and

POROSITY

The porosity of the core sample.
