Subject: Results of Rock Strength Tests On NCIU A-02 Core Samples
John W. Reeder
Curator, Alaska Geological Materials Center
Last winter, we collected several chip samples from the NCIU A-02 core that was stored at the GMC.
Per your request at the time of sampling, ConocoPhillips is providing results of analyses performed on these samples.
The purpose was to perform rock strength tests on high permeability sands in order to better understand
sand production problems at the North Cook Inlet Unit. Unfortunately, not all samples survived transport
to our ConocoPhillips Bartlesville Laboratory without breaking into small fragments.
Surviving samples underwent triaxial strength tests. If there was enough sample material,
some samples were sent to TerraTek for UCS scratch tests. All results are shown below.
Please call or email me if you have any questions.
