Excerpt from A Study of the Core of the Yanaway Well No. 33 in the Siggins Pool
Examination of the core of the upper sand as it came from the core barrel showed that the oil in it was not uniformly distributed. This is further borne out by the per cent saturation of the core samples (fig. 1) which Show, considering only the outstanding features, an irregular arrange ment of the points of high and low saturation, although in general the lower portion is shown to have a higher saturation than the upper.
Some pieces of core showed even more restricted localization of the oil than indicated above, for in many of them by far the greatest amount of oil was found in a thin streak of coarse and apparently very porous sandstone which varied from %3 to of an inch in thickness. The cementa tion of this coarse sandstone was much less firm than that elsewhere, inas much as the core commonly broke along the coarser bands.
