Abstract
This paper intends to contribute to a better understanding of the Statfjord Formation in the North Sea, based on the study of some lithotypes of the Lourinhã Formation analog. A mineralogical and physical characterization was performed. A Fast RILEM water absorption test is herein proposed to carry out on sandstone drilled cuttings and cores that were cut into specimens, to assess permeability-related parameters. Results in a faster way on rocks with porosity values higher than 15% are given by this test in comparison to traditional laboratory methods. A correlation factor of 4–5 was obtained between permeability (mD) and water absorption coefficient (lb/ft2√h).
