Core Analyses for Various Aquifers: Capitan Reef, Edwards BFZ, Maverick Basin, and Woodbine

Project Summary:

The purpose of this project was to provide directly measured rock parameters that are correlated with geophysical logs for various aquifers studied or to be studied by BRACS. Core data was analyzed for the Maverick Basin (seven cores), Woodbine (four cores), Capitan Reef Complex (one core) and Edwards Balcones Fault Zone (one core). Measured rock parameters included bulk mineralogy, porosity, permeability, cementation or “m”-factor and nuclear magnetic resonance for each core plug interval.
