Question: A cylindrical core sample has an average diameter of 3 . 8 c m and an average length of 7 . 6 c m .

A cylindrical core sample has an average diameter of 3.8cm and an average length of 7.6cm.
Dry mass, md, of a core sample is 179.36 gr. The sample is 100% saturated with brine, and the
mass of the 100% brine saturated core, mb, is 198.32 gr. The saturated sample is then
oil-flooded in order to establish initial water saturation, Swi, and initial oil saturation, Soi. After
the course of the oil-flooding, mass of the core sample at (Swi+Soi),ml, becomes 196.42gr.
Density of the brine, b, is 1.05grcm3 and the density of the oil, o, is 0.91grcm3.
(5 points)8. What is the PV(pore volume) of the core sample?
a)17.06cm3
b)18.96cm3
c)16.25cm3
d)18.06cm3
(5 points)9. What is the Swi(initial water saturation) of the core sample?
a)0.752
b)0.248
c)4.48cm3
d)13.58cm3
(5 points)10. What is the Voi(initial oil volume) of the core sample after oil flooding?
a)9.09cm3
b)16cm3
c)4.48cm3
d)13.58cm3
 A cylindrical core sample has an average diameter of 3.8cm and
