A novel method of determining
gas saturation has proved
successful in Omans Natih Field
where conventional methods
were giving anomalous results in
difficult conditions. Stephen

Shell describe how, for the first

r
At equilibrium: mgd = rT
g = rT
md
Where: m = mass of weight
g = gravitational acceleration
d = distance between
hinge and mass
r = distance between
hinge and spring
T = tension of spring
