FR, formation resistivity factor


Schlumberger

This chart gives a variety of formation resistivity factor-toporosity conversions. The proper choice is best determined by
laboratory measurement or experience in the area. In the absence
of this knowledge, recommended relationships are the following:

Example: = 6% in a carbonate in which a cementation factor,


m, of 2 is appropriate
Therefore, from chart,
FR = 280

For soft formations (Humble formula):


FR =

0.62
0.81

For hard formations:

with appropriate cementation factor, m.
