Temperature Effects
ionic conductivity - as temp. increases the
conductivity increases. Why?
Salinity Effects
As salinity increases the conductivity will
increase.

Determination of Rw
Rwa Technique
Requirements:
1. Rw is constant
2. Lithology is constant
3. A water zone exists and is identifiable
Procedure:
Rearrange Archie' s Equation :
S2 R
Rw w t
F
If in a water zone (Sw = 100%), then
R t (orR o )
Rw
F
If in a HC zone, the F relationship is the same
but the Rt will increase; thus
Rt
R wa =
F
Calculate for a series of zones, find :
R w R wa ( minimum )
Determine water saturation by :
