Water-filled resistivity

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-004107

The electrical resistivity of a rock formation when its pore spaces are completely saturated with formation water. This value, denoted as R0, is a key input for calculating water saturation in hydrocarbon-bearing zones. It depends on the resistivity of the formation water and the rock's porosity and cementation exponent.
