These charts convert equivalent water resistivity, R weq , from
Chart SP-1 to actual water resistivity, R w. They may also be used
to convert R mf to R mfeq in saline muds.
Use the solid lines for predominantly NaCl waters. The
dashed lines are approximate for average fresh formation
waters (where effects of salts other than NaCl become signifi-
cant). The dashed portions may also be used for gyp-base mud
filtrates.
Example: R weq = 0.025 ohm-m at 120C
From chart, R w = 0.031 ohm-m at 120C
Special procedures for muds containing Ca or Mg in solution
are discussed in Reference 3. Lime-base muds usually have a
negligible amount of Ca in solution; they may be treated as
regular mud types.
