Cross-plots of bulk thermal conductivity (λb) versus the product of the ratio of quartz volume fraction (vquartz)/Φ and vp for a air-saturated sandstone samples, b water-saturated sandstone samples. In case of air-saturated samples, the optimum correlation R2 = 0.85 is achieved for plots bulk thermal conductivity (λb) versus the product of the ratio of quartz volume fraction (vquartz)/Φ and vp. λb and vp are measured parallel bedding
