  1. Electrical Properties Archie’s Law

  2. Rock containing pores saturated with water and hydrocarbons Non-shaly rock, 100% saturated with water having resistivity, Rw Rt Cube of water having resistivity, Rw • = 20% Sw = 20% Ro • = 20% Sw = 100% Rw Saturation Equation • = 100% Sw = 100% Resistivity Formation Factor Equation

  3. Formation Factor • The formation factor (F) depends on • Porosity of the formation, • Pore geometry - tortuosity • Lithology of the formation • Degree of cementation, and • Type and amount of clay in the rock From J. Jensen, PETE 321 Lecture Notes

  4. F  Formation Factor Equation • Archie’s equation for formation factor is a power law model: F=a·f-m 1000 Rock type 1 100 10 Rock type 2 1 Note: Sw=1 .01 .1 1.0 From NExT, 1999

  6. Formation Factor • F=a·f-m a = constant  1.0 for most formations m = cementation factor  2 for most formations • Other commonly used values • Sandstones: • F = 0.8/f2 (Tixier) • 0.62/f2.15 (Humble) • Carbonates • F = 0.8/f2 From J. Jensen, PETE 321 Lecture Notes
