PEL 32: Pretty Hill Sandstone core-to-log analysis project.
Conventional log analysis of the Pretty Hill Sandstone for Katnook 2 and Ladbroke Grove 1 has not reliably quantified gas-bearing from water-wet zones. This has led to 2 major problems: firstly, log interpretation has been unable to provide...-
