Abstract
F008 THE LINKS BETWEEN GLOBAL HYDRAULIC ELEMENTS FACIES GRAIN SIZE AND SORTING Abstract 1 J. A. KOOISTRA and D. K. POTTER Institute of Petroleum Engineering Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh EH14 4AS United Kingdom A significant relationship between global hydraulic elements (GHEs) and facies is shown to exist for different facies types which have historically been hard to distinguish. This link would not have been recognised using conventional hydraulic flow unit analysis (Amaefule et al 1993) which is not able to compare data from different sample populations. The data used in the present study comprised almost 4000 core plugs derived from over
