  Description:
    Abstract: The State of Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) is currently engaged in a multi-year study of the hydrocarbon potential of the Tertiary and Mesozoic strata in Cook Inlet basin. This report summarizes mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP) data for 19 samples collected from the Indecision Creek Member of the Naknek Formation and the Kaguyak Formation type section.  All samples were analyzed by PetroTech Associates, Houston, TX. PetroTech Associates found that the Kaguyak rocks were generally less porous and permeable compared to the Naknek, although there is some overlap in values. The capillary pressure data for this publication is provided in its native spreadsheet format. The manuscript provides correspondence from PetroTech Associates describing the methods used in MICP analyses of the samples in this report, a brief summary of the data, and references cited.

    Supplemental_Information: The DGGS metadata standard extends the FGDC standard to include elements that are required to facilitate our internal data management. These elements, referred to as "layers," group and describe files that have intrinsic logical or topological relationships. Attribute information for the layers (entity) is included in this metadata file under the "Entity_and_Attribute_Information" section. The layers are titled: >sample-location-details:	A CSV file with sample reference numbers, latitude, longitude, and rock unit (formation). >micp-data:	This folder contains 19 Excel spreadsheets (one file for each individual sample; file names correspond to sample number preceded by a "t " ). The contents in each Excel file include worksheets with the following information: Sheet1 (data for individual sample), Chart1 (Bulk Volume), Chart2 (Pore Volume), Chart3 (Pore Aperture Size Distribution). >micp-summary:	This folder includes five Excel spreadsheets with summary data for the samples analyzed. The spreadsheets are: 1) Kaguyak_pore_size_distribution.xlsx - Pore aperture size distribution charts for Kaguyak Formation samples. The worksheets are labeled: Figures 3b, 4d, 4e, 4f, Data1, 2) Kaguyak_pore_volume_graph_data.xlsx - Kaguyak Formation, type section pore volume graph and data. The worksheets are labeled: Figure 2b, Data1. 3) Naknek_pore_size_distribution.xlsx - Pore aperture size distribution charts for Naknek Formation samples. The worksheets are labeled: Figures 3a, 4a, 4b, 4c, Data1. 4) Naknek_pore_volume_graph_data.xlsx - Naknek Formation, type section, pore volume graph and data. The worksheets are labeled: Figure 2a, Data1. 5) Pore_system_properties.xlsx - Pore system properties of the Naknek Formation-Indecision Creek Member and the Kaguyak Formation. The worksheets are labeled: Table 2a and Table 2b respectively.

  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report: This publication is intended to provide timely release of raw field and analytical data. The results and methodology provided by PetroTech Associates have not been reviewed by DGGS staff or others to assess the accuracy of the data.
  Logical_Consistency_Report: Not applicable
  Completeness_Report: The PetroTech Associates lab was able to analyze all of the samples that were submitted. Additional MICP data releases for other Cook Inlet locations are planned.
  Positional_Accuracy:
    Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Location coordinates were obtained using handheld GPS units with a typical error of 7 m or less.

    Process_Step:
      Process_Description: Sample collection - Samples were collected from the Indecision Creek Member of the Naknek Formation and the Kaguyak Formation type section. With the exception of sample 12MAW121-b, samples were collected from measured stratigraphic sections.
      Process_Date: 2012
    Process_Step:
      Process_Description: Mercury injection capillary pressure analysis - Samples were submitted to PetroTech Associates, Houston, TX for mercury injection capillary pressure analysis. Following receipt of the samples, a representative portion of each was trimmed to fit the sample holders and examined under reflected light microscopy to note any irregularities that might affect the data quality. The rock surfaces were cleaned of any mold or dust and the samples then dried to a constant weight in a low temperature oven before being analyzed. During capillary pressure testing , the volume of mercury injected was measured at 118 pressure points from 1.64 to 59,500 psia. These data were then corrected for closure. The "closure" volume is the amount of mercury intrusion that occurs as the mercury conforms to the sample surface, filling any irregularities, prior to entering the pore system. The resultant data and comparative plots are provided in this data release. See manuscript for references.
