Post subject:  Bound Liquid and Pore Space

Hello everyone,

I´m doing my Masters of Geo-sciences in Berlin and I´m having trouble with a Petroleum Geology homework.

It´s basically about bound fluid in a reservoir. Now I´m supposed to find a way to calculate the grain size (diameter), with which 100 % of the available pore space will be taken up by bound fluid. Assuming its just spherical grains, cubic packing by constant thickness of bound fluid film of 10 micro meter.

Now I tried a mathematical approach and a Trigonometric approach, where i tried to calculate the pore space over the length of the angle bisector. I seem to run into a dead end with either approach.

If anyone knows how to solve this, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Aaron
