An oil-water SS displacement experiment was carried out on a 5.0 cm long and 3.0 cm diameter sandstone core plug taken from Duyung-1 well in Terengganu. The porosity of the plug is 25% and the grain density is 2.65 g/cm3. Oil and water densities are 0.85 g/cm3 and 1.05 g/cm3, while viscosities are 2.0 cP and 1.0 cP, respectively. The differential pressure for the test is 12.94 psi. Other data are provided in the following table. Calculate and plot the oil-water relative permeability data and explain the graph
A site is underlain by a saturated clay layer with thickness = 5m. A sample extracted from the center of the clay layer was recently tested for consolidation parameters. The results indicate that the compression index is 0.33, the recompression index is 0.09, and the void ratio is 1.2. The results also indicate that the layer is normally consolidated. Calculate the preconsolidation stress of the clay. Express your answer in kPa. Note: this is a short problem; read the problem statement carefully. Use unit water weight = 10 kN/m3.

An oedometer (consolidation) test is performed on a normally consolidated clay stratum that is 8.5 feet thick, and it found that the clay's initial voids ratio was e_0 = 0.8 and its primary compression index is C_c = 0.28. The in-situ stress at mid-clay layer is p_0 = 2, 650 psf, and the building exerts a pressure through its mat foundation of 970 psf. The secondary compression index C_ alpha = 0.02. The time of completion of the primary settlement is approximately 18 months. What is the total consolidation of the 8.5 foot clay stratum 5 years after the primary consolidation?
A clay sample underwent a consolidation test in the lab. The clay specimen has drainage on both sides and a height of 25.4 mm. Assume that the clay sample's preconsolidation pressure was less than 150 kPa prior to the consolidation test. The void ratio was 0.96 when the applied effective vertical pressure was 150 kPa. When the vertical effective pressure increased from 150 to 220 kPa, the void ratio at the end of consolidation and compression was 0.88. It was discovered that the sample needed 3 minutes to consolidate by 30%. Following the consolidation test, a swelling/unloading test was conducted, in which the vertical effective stress was lowered from 220 to 150 kPa and the end-of-swelling void ratio was determined to be 0.9.
