Formation fluid saturation
Formation fluid saturation is an important quantity:
It is necessary to determine the volume of fluids
(water and hydrocarbons) present;
It may give us some indication as to what will be
produced.
But
We often have to estimate several parametersthat are needed to make the saturationcalculation.

Tortuosity factor,
The constant , called the tortuosity factor, cementation intercept,
lithology factoror, lithology coefficientis sometimes used. It is
meant to correct for variation in compaction, pore structure
and grain size
Cementation exponent,
The cementation exponent models how much the pore network
increases the resistivity, as the rock itself is assumed to be
non-conductive.

Saturation exponent,
The saturation exponent usually is fixed to values close to 2. The
saturation exponent models the dependency on the presence
of non-conductive fluid (hydrocarbons) in the pore-space, and
is related to the wettability of the rock

The Borehole Environment
Hole diameter (dh) The size of the borehole determined by the diameter of the drill
bit.
Drilling Mud Resistivity (Rm) Resistivity of the fluid used to drill a borehole and which
lubricates the bit, removes cuttings, maintains the walls of the borehole and maintains
borehole over formation pressure. Drilling mud consists of a variety of clay and other
materials in a fresh or saline aqueous solution and has a measurable resistivity.
Mudcake Resistivity (Rmc) Resistivity of the mineral residue formed by
accumulation of solid drilling mud components on the wellbore walls as the mud fluids
invade the formations penetrated by the borehole.
Mud Filtrate (Rmf) Resistivity of the liquid drilling mud components that infiltrate the
formation, leaving the mudcake on the walls of the borehole.

Resistivity values for the drilling mud, mudcake, and mud filtrate are determined
during a full mud press and are recorded on a logs header.
Invaded Zone The zone which is invaded by mud filtrate. It consists of a flushed
zone (Rxo) and a transition or annulus zone (Ri). The flushed zone (Rxo) occurs close
mto the borehole where the mud filtrate has almost completely flushed out the
formations hydrocarbons and/or water. The transition or annulus zone (Ri), where a
formations fluids and mud filtrate are mixed, occurs between the flushed zone (Rxo)
and the univaded zone (Rt).
Uninvaded Zone (Rt) Pores in the univaded zone are uncontaminated by mud
filtrate; instead, they are saturated with formation fluids (water, oil and/or gas).
