Archie: 2005 #66 (similar)

Given the following, what is oil saturation?

Rw = 0.02, Rt = 30 ohm-meter
a = 0.6, m & n = 2, Porosity = 8%.

Classic Archie. Guidebook 15 LOG 1:
Sw = [(a/Por^m)(Rw/Rt)]^0.5
Sw= [(0.6/0.08^2)(0.2/30)]^0.5 =  0.25
Oil Saturation: 1 - 0.25 = 0.75 = 75%

  1. Just found out this exam isn't 04 or 05. It's 09.

    1. No, this is a similar problem to the 2005 practice exam (PM #26). I can't speak to the 2009 exam but it may have copied the 2005 problem. I just checked the 2005 exam and this problem matches.

    2. Check the link against all the posted "similar" problems. They all match (relatively of course).

    3. I've seen this exact exam with 2004, 2005, and now 2009 at the top.
      Heard it was the actual 2004 SPE Exam, published in 2005 by SPE for study purposes. YMMV.
