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 nine outcrop and measured section samples collected from the Naknek Formation on the Iniskin Peninsula in Cook Inlet. All samples were analyzed by PetroTech Associates, Houston, TX. We provide: the capillary pressure data in its native spreadsheet format; correspondence from PetroTech Associates describing the methods used in MICP analyses, a summary of the data, and references cited; and sample location coordinates in CSV format.

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. In cases where samples were collected from measured sections, we provide the coordinates of the base of the measured section.
Location coordinates were obtained using handheld GPS units with a typical error of 7 m or less. In cases where samples were collected from measured sections, we provide the coordinates of the base of the measured section.
The PetroTech Associates lab was able to analyze all of the MICP samples that were submitted.
