Discussion of Techien Chen, 1997, ‘An Integral Method to Calculate Water Saturation in a Centrifuge Experiment to Determine Capillary Pressure’

Abstract

That discussion recognizes that the above paper deals with one of the main problems for reserves and reservoir evaluation, i.e. the determination of capillary pressure curves using the centrifuge technique. However, it is explained that the subject was not properly addressed and that sections of the paper are out of date, confusing or eventually wrong. For a more relevant overview on the subject, it is recommended to refer to the corresponding survey by the Society of Core Analysts.
