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 38 outcrop samples collected from the Tyonek, Beluga, and West Foreland Formations in the Tyonek and Talkeetna quadrangles. All samples were analyzed by PetroTech Associates, Houston, TX. 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 summary of the data, and references cited.

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. Cases in which the outcrop formation assignment is uncertain are query marked in the 'sample-location-details' table.
Location coordinates were obtained using handheld GPS units with a typical error of 7 m or less. Sample coordinates represent the location of the bottom of the stratigraphic measured section from which each sample was collected.
The spreadsheets used to generate the charts showing potential seal capacity (figures 3-6) were not provided to DGGS. The PetroTech Associates lab was able to analyze all of the MICP samples that were submitted. Additional MICP data releases for other Cook Inlet locations are planned.
