A New Method of Measuring Capillary Pressure Curves at Very High Capillary Pressures

Abstract
Water vapor adsorption carried out under vacuum conditions not only greatly reduces the required equilibration time to about six days, but also enables us to do or repeat more experiments in a relatively short time to get more accurate data. Based on experimental data, an expression which relates capillary pressures to saturations and porosities for Berea sandstone cores has been developed. The results indicate a good match between measured and calculated data.
