Rock volume is a sum of rock matrix volume and total pore volume : LaTeX Math Block |
---|
| V = V_m + V_t = (1-\phi_t) V + \phi_t V
|
where LaTeX Math Block |
---|
| \phi_t = \frac{V_t}{V} |
Total pore volume is a sum of shale-bound water and free fluid volume (water and hydrocarbons): LaTeX Math Block |
---|
| V_t = \phi_t V = V_e + V_{wb} = \phi_e V + s_{wb} V_t |
where LaTeX Math Block |
---|
| V_e = V_t (1 - s_{wb}) |
and therefore: LaTeX Math Block |
---|
| \phi_e = \phi_t (1 - s_{wb}) |
Totalk Total volume of water is a sum of shale-bound water and free water : LaTeX Math Block |
---|
| V_{wt} = V_{wb} + V_{wf} |
and relates to as: LaTeX Math Block |
---|
| s_{wt} V_t = s_{wb} V_t + s_w V_e = s_{wb} V_t + s_w V_t (1 - s_{wb}) |
or LaTeX Math Block |
---|
| s_{wt} = s_{wb} + s_w (1 - s_{wb}) |
which gives an explicit formula for formation water saturation: LaTeX Math Block |
---|
| s_w = \frac{s_{wt} - s_{wb}}{ 1 - s_{wb}} |
