Section 1. The Archie Equation -water saturation as a decimal fraction. -Resistivity of the 100% water saturated rock. -Resistivity of the rock-fluid system. Equation 1.1 was empirically derived by G. E. Archie while working for Shell. This work was reported in in his famous 1942 paper. He plotted SW versus the ratio Rt/Ro (the Resistivity Index) on log-log paper‚ see Figure 1.1. This same technique is still used today to derive a value for n from core measurements.
