Rock Properties
Resistivity : The resistance offered to electricalResistivity : The resistance offered to electrical current flow presented by a unit volume of rock.Porosity : The void space between grains that is generally filled with liquids or gasses.Saturation : Percentage of the pore space filled with fluids.

Permeability: The ability of the rock to pass fluids through it.Capillary pressure
Rock PropertiesResistivity : The resistance offered by a formation to the electrical current flow It is expressedformation to the electrical current flow. It is expressed in ohms-meter2/meter.R w : Is the symbol for the resistivity of formation (connate) water.R o : Is the wet resistivity of a clean formation when all pore space is filled with connate water (R w). Porosity is 100% water filled Sw = 100%
OH Logging Tucker Technologies, Inc. 54
Porosity is 100% water filled. Sw = 100%R t : Is the resistivity of a formation undisturbed by the drilling process.
28
Rock PropertiesResistivity : The usefulness of resistivity logging rests on the fact that:
water is a conductor ( low resistivity). The resistivity Rt will vary with Rw and 1/Ø.
OH Logging Tucker Technologies, Inc. 55
hydrocarbons and rocks are insulators ( high resistivity).
Water Resistivity
Is the resistivity of formation (connate) waterIs the resistivity of formation (connate) water.Formation matrices are insulators; thus a formation ‘s ability to conduct electricity is a function of the connate water in the formation. Several factors must be considered:the volume of water (porosity).As water filled

pore space in a rock is increased, resistivity decreases.the pore space arrangement (type of porosity).
29
Water Resistivitythe temperature of the formation. As water temperature is raised, ionic mobility increases and resistivity decreases. the salinity of the water. As salinity increases, more ions are available to conduct electricity. Rw decreases.Depends on ion Activity:

Formation Factor for Resistivity
The ratio between the resistivity of a fully waterThe ratio between the resistivity of a fully water saturated formation and the resistivity of the contained water is called Formation Resistivity Factor.
F = Ro / Rw F is a constant. The value of F for any particular
OH Logging Tucker Technologies, Inc. 69
F is a constant. The value of F for any particular formation depends on:formation porosity, pore distribution, pore size, and pore structure.
Formation Factor for Porosity
Also through empirical measurements it wasAlso through empirical measurements, it was determined that
F = a / Ø ma is a constant or cementation factor.m is the cementation or tortuosity exponent
OH Logging Tucker Technologies, Inc. 70
m is the cementation or tortuosity exponent. Relates to the porosity type and how it will transmit electrical current to the actual rock.
36
Formation Factor for Porosity
Some recommended F and Ø relationships are:Some recommended F and Ø relationships are:
F = 0.62 / Ø 2.15 for Sands
F = 0.81 / Ø 2 for Sands
