z_0 | Logging reference point (usually at surface) | c_0 | |
g | Standard gravity constant |
Equation
(1) | p(z) = p_0 \cdot \exp \left[ - \frac{\rho_0 \, g}{p_0} \cdot (z-z_0) \right] |
where
z | Gas pressure at Logging reference point z_0 | ||
z_0 | Logging reference point (usually at surface) |
\rho_0 | Gas density at Logging reference point z_0 |
g | Standard gravity constant |
c_0 |
Alternative form
(2) | p(z) = p_0 \cdot \exp \left[ - \frac{M }{R \, T} \cdot (z-z_0) \right] |
where
z | p_0 | Gas pressure at Logging reference point z_0 | |
z_0 | Logging reference point (usually at surface) | M | |
g | Standard gravity constant | T | |
R | Gas constant |
