Purpose: The purpose of the overall project was to collect detailed geologic information and assess hydrocarbon potential in measured sections in the Beluga and Sterling Formations.This data set provides information on the collection location, formation, and physical description of samples collected for Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure analysis.Analytical data for theses samples are presented in this report. Supplemental_Information: The data are available in tabular format as comma delimited ASCII files organized into four entities as described in this metadata file under the "Entity_and_Attribute_Information" section.The tables are as follows: >Table_1 summarizes sample name, formation from which the samples were collected, coordinates of sample location, and brief description of MICP samples >Table_2 summary of pore system and capillary properties for Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure analyses >Table_3 summary height data for Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure analyses. >MICP_Raw_Data summarizes the raw data for Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure samples, composed of tables 4-17.
