''Whole core analysis'' examines the complete length of full-diameter core in the interval being tested and affords the maximum possible sample size. Large samples are mandatory in heterogeneous formations in which most of the porosity and permeability are due to fractures, solution vugs, or erratically developed pore systems. In these cases, the volume of individual pore spaces may be large in relation to the size of conventional core analysis plug samples.<ref name=pt05r9 /> A variation of whole core analysis, called ''full-diameter analysis'', utilizes selected lengths of a core rather than the entire core.
