The purpose of the overall project was to collect detailed geologic information and assess hydrocarbon potential in measured sections in the Beluga and Sterling Formations.This data set provides information on the collection location, formation, and physical description of samples collected for Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure analysis.Analytical data for theses samples are presented in this report. The data are available in tabular format as comma delimited ASCII files organized into four entities as described in this metadata file under the "Entity_and_Attribute_Information" section.The tables are as follows: >Table_1 summarizes sample name, formation from which the samples were collected, coordinates of sample location, and brief description of MICP samples >Table_2 summary of pore system and capillary properties for Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure analyses >Table_3 summary height data for Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure analyses. >MICP_Raw_Data summarizes the raw data for Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure samples, composed of tables 4-17. 2007 publication date Complete None planned -151.71409 -151.12128 60.08353 57.65990 None Mercury Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure Analysis Outcrop Samples None Cook Inlet Homer None Sterling Formation Beluga Formation This report, map, and/or dataset are available directly from the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (see contact information below). Any hard copies or published datasets utilizing these datasets shall clearly indicate their source. If the user has modified the data in any way, the user is obligated to describe the types of modifications the user has made. User specifically agrees not to misrepresent these datasets, nor to imply that changes made by the user were approved by the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys. The latitude and longitude values in this report were collected with handheld GPS units which are accurate to approximately 4 meters. No topologic relationships are present in this data set. When plotted on a topographic base map, the locations of the samples collected accurately reflect the location of sample collection. The horizontal position accuracy on point data is approximately 4 meters based on the error range in the handheld GPS units used to collect spatial information. Varva, C.L. Kaldi, J.G.

Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Sample "Sample" refers to the name of the sample given by the geologist. Naming convention is based on the two-digit year, the two- or three-letter collector initials, and the measured section station number followed by a dash and a number representing the meter in the measured section at which the sample was collected.
