Thesis: âÃÂÃÂIntegrated Petrographic and Petrophysical Study of the Smackover Formation, Womack Hill Field, Clarke and Choctaw Counties, Alabama." Integrated carbonate petrography and petrophysics to delineate flow units. Measured and derived porosity, permeability, capillary pressure characteristics, pore throat apertures, and pore system tortuosity, then related these characteristics to pore types determined from petrographic analyses. This information was combined to define petrofacies units to determine hydrocarbon flow in the field and locate potentially bypassed pay.
