General form of the Archie equation-Water saturation from resistivity logs

Input(s)

m: Cementation Factor (dimensionless)

a: Tortuosity Factor (dimensionless)

Φ\Phi: Porosity (fraction)

RwR_{w}: Resistivity of Water (ohm m)

RtR_{t}: True Resistivity (ohm m)

n\mathrm{n}: Saturation Exponent (dimensionless)

Output(s)

SwS_{w}: Water Saturation (fraction)

Formula(s)

Sw=((aΦm)(RwRt))1nS_{w}=\left(\left(\frac{a}{\Phi^{m}}\right) *\left(\frac{R_{w}}{R_{t}}\right)\right)^{\frac{1}{n}}
