Displacement efficiency defines the fraction of the initial pore-saturating fluid displaced in a the piston sweep by invaded fluid


E_D = 1- \frac{V_{FLUID, \ INITITAL} - V_{FLUID, \ INVADED}}{V_{FLUID, \ INITITAL}}


Water-Oil Displacement Efficiency (EDow)


Gas-Oil Displacement Efficiency (EDog)
