Water saturation from neutron tools

Input(s)

Σlog\Sigma_{l o g}: Measured Capture Cross Section of Formation (dimensionless)

Σma\Sigma_{m a}: Capture Cross Section of Matrix (dimensionless) Σw\Sigma_{w}: Capture Cross Section of Water (dimensionless)

Σh\Sigma_{h}: Capture Cross Section of Hydrocarbon (dimensionless)

Φ\Phi: Porosity (fraction)

Output(s)

SwS_{w}: Water Saturation (fraction)

Formula(s)

Sw=(ΣlogΣma)Φ(ΣhΣma)Φ(ΣwΣh)\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{w}}=\frac{\left(\Sigma_{\log }-\Sigma_{\mathrm{ma}}\right)-\Phi *\left(\Sigma_{\mathrm{h}}-\Sigma_{\mathrm{ma}}\right)}{\Phi *\left(\Sigma_{\mathrm{w}}-\Sigma_{\mathrm{h}}\right)}
