An Iterative Laboratory Method For The Determination Of Water Resistivity
Abstract
Often in petroleum reservoir analysis it is necessary to measure the electrical resistivity of the water present in a formation. Formation water salinity and fluid saturations can both be calculated from the water resistivity and well log data.
Since the first production from the Bryan Woodbine Field, only dry oil has been produced. However, it may be possible to determine the water resistivity by saturating core samples with water of various salinities and recording the formation resistivity of the sample. Plotting the formation resistivity data versus the depth of each sample should yield a curve which can be correlated with the actual resistivity log to determine the correct water resistivity. In addition to determining the water resistivity, information on the effect of solution gas on oil resistivity should be obtained.
