This paper introduces a new core-analysis work flow for determining resistivity index (RI), formation factor (FF), and other petrophysical properties directly from an as-received (AR) set of core samples. Unlike common practices that require lengthy core cleaning and wettability restoration, the new work flow does not introduce external liquids or alter the wettability of the matrix. It starts with AR cores in the laboratory. With the new work flow, cleaning, drying, and resaturating the sample are no longer required.
