A relationship between cementation factor and specific surface with respect to bulk volume is obtained for chalk. This leads to how Archie's cementation factor may be predicted from porosity and permeability for chalk as well as for sandstone. A common relationship between cementation factor and specific surface with respect to bulk volume calculated from porosity and permeability is obtained. As an alternative, the a-factor in Archie's equation is related to specific surface with respect to bulk volume, but the relationship is less clear than the simple relationship between cementation factor and specific surface.completedEconomic geology, geology of energy sourcesArchie's lawAtlantic Oceancarbonate rockscementationchalkcoresdiagenesisequationsLeg 165North AtlanticNorth Seanumerical analysisOcean Drilling ProgramODP Site 999permeabilityphysical propertiesporosityreservoir rockssaturationsedimentary rocksspecific surfaceurn:org.iodp:exp:165urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:165:site:999urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:165urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-78.4422-78.442212.443712.4437
