This x-ray movie of flow thorugh carbonates vs. berea sandstone is one of the most astonishing things I've ever seen in petroleum engineering. It really makes you wonder about the efficiency and accuracy of the estimation of original oil in place through volumetric methods, and its recovery factor in these carbonate sequences. This is why I am still a fierce defender of material balance methods for reserves estimation.
