Petrophysics MSc Course Notes RESISTIVITY TheoryDr. Paul Glover Page whole of RESISTIVITY logging is based upon a few very important equations which are introduced inthis section. The equations, which are known as the Archie Equations, relate the RESISTIVITY of aformation to the RESISTIVITY of the fluids saturating a formation, the porosity of the formation and thefractional degree of saturation of each fluid present.
Thus, if we take a cylindrical rock sample with two flat faces A and B, and set a potential difference ∆E =E A-E B between its end faces, a currentI will flow through the rock from face A to face B (Fig. 17.1). If we measure the current and the potential difference, we can calculate the resistance of the rock sample using Eq. (17.1).
