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.
centigrade. Clearly, if the BHT is 200oC, the increase in the resistivity of the formation fluids can be as much as 800%. This will cause the resistivities measured with downhole tools to increase steadily down the borehole. To avoid this added complication all downhole resistivity measurements are
