The density/neutron porosity readings are nearly the same in both sandstones, so that suggests liquid hydrocarbon (oil). HOWEVER, in order to get some practice, I want you to evaluate the upper sandstone as a gas reservoir. Estimate the OGIP assuming a drainage area of 250 acres, a geothermal gradient of 1.2°F/100 ft, and a pore pressure gradient of 0.65 psi/ft.
