The core sample used in generalizing the capillary pressure data was
taken from a layer that is characterized by an absolute permeability of
300 md and a porosity of 17%. Generate the capillary pressure data for
a different layer that is characterized by a porosity and permeability of
15%, 200 md, respectively. The interfacial tension is measured at 35
dynes/cm.
