Common Notations
Ro = Resistivity of non-shaly rock saturated (Sw=1) with formation
water (ohm-m)
Rt = True formation resistivity (ohm-m)
Rw = Formation water resistivity (ohm-m)
ELECTRICITY AND EARTH
MATERIALS
– Resistivity of water
– Porosity of the formation,
– Pore geometry - tortuosity
– Lithology of the formation
– Degree of cementation, and
– Type and amount of clay in the rock
