Finding Equation for Normal Conductivity

At 10800 ft:
CON = 1515.15 (103 Ohm.m)
K1=ln(CON) + K2D
Where the value of K2 = 0.0002
K1 = ln(1515.15) + 0.0002(10800)
K1 = 9.483
ln(CON) = K1 - K2D
ln(CON) = 9.483 - 0.0002(D)

CON = 13134*e-(0.0002*D)

Using Frio Equation to Find Pressure Gradient

y = 6.4901*ln(x) + 5.9999
where y = Conductivity Ratio
and x = Pressure Gradient (psi/ft)
solving for x:
y-5.9999=6.4901*ln(x)
(y-5.9999)/6.4901 = ln(x)

x = e(y-5.9999)/6.4901
