Volumetric shares of petroleum fluids phases  saturating effective pore volume :


s_\alpha = \frac{V_\alpha}{V_\phi}



\sum_\alpha V_\alpha = V_\phi



\sum_\alpha s_\alpha = 1



In most popular case of a 3-phase fluid model this will be:

s_w + s_o + s_g = 1

where

water phase saturation at reservoir location

oil phase saturation at reservoir location

gas phase saturation at reservoir location
