Determination of Rw
Preliminary Concepts
Temperature Effects
ionic conductivity - as temp. increases the
conductivity increases. Why?
Salinity Effects
As salinity increases the conductivity will
increase.

How to determine formation temperature?
During logging operations record the maximum temperature
(TTD) at the bottom of the well (DTD).
Assume a linear geothermal gradient, (gG), {deg.F/100 ft}

Determination of Rw
Direct measurement
Obtain water sample and corresponding temperature.
Representative sample:
Pumping well with high WOR
Flowing well with high WOR
Drill stem test
Not Useful:
Flowing well with high GOR
Condensate - gas well
Well with casing leak
Tank bottoms
Determination of Rw
How to determine resistivity if a chemical
composition is available?
Calculate equivalent NaCl concentration by
using ion multipliers.
Use salinity - temperature - resistivity
relationships to find Rw.

Rwa Technique
Requirements:
1. Rw is constant
2. Lithology is constant
3. A water zone exists and is identifiable
Procedure:
Rearrange Archie' s Equation :

If in a water zone (Sw = 100%), then
R t (orR o )

If in a HC zone, the F relationship is the same
but the Rt will increase; thus
