●Discussion: Orientation to Practice/Reservoir Scales■Schematic explains wireline log acquisition approach.■Reservoir scales — at least 12 orders of magnitude (1x1012).
Orientation to Practice/Reservoir Scales
From: Course Notes (Thomas Engler, New Mexico Tech).
How are well logs taken? Scales?

●Discussion: Depth of Investigation (Logging Tools)■Clearly a trade-off in resolution and depth of investigation.■"Depth-averaging" of measurements can be significant.

●Discussion: Archie Saturation Relation■Very simple formulation.■Generally valid for "clean sands."
From: Dan Krygowski: "Archie, Hingle, and Pickett: Determining fluid saturation for fun and profit…" (http://www.discovery-group.com/pdfs/Archie%20Hingle%20Pickett.pdf).

●Discussion: Formation Factor — Example■Pirson provides an interpretation of the F vs. configuration.■Also shows the confirmation of Archie saturation concept.
From: Pirson, S. J.: Elements of Oil Reservoir Engineering, McGraw-Hill Book Co., Inc., New York, (1950).
Formation factor (F) versus porosity (percent), for various reservoir characters or cementation classes.
Connate-water saturation vs. resistivity ratios. Curve 1 is a composite of data from Wycoff, Leverett, Jakosky, and Martin; curve 2 is for brine-air displacement results of Morse et al., on artificially consolidated sands; curve 3 is for brine-oil displacement results.

●Discussion: Shannon Field Examples■F vs. behavior is consistent with Archie observations.■I vs. Sw indicates a "shaly sand" (deviates from Archie lines).
From: From: Keelan, Dare K. and D.C. McGinley, 1979, Application of Cation Exchange Capacity in a Study of the Shannon Sand of Wyoming Trans., SPWLA (June 1979).
F vs. — Shannon Sand Example —validates Archie observation (1.6 < m < 2.2).
I vs. Sw — Shannon Sand Example — somewhat violates Archie observation (shaly sand case).
