Saturation Height Function

Further to the presentation on “Saturation Height Function” (prepared by Mr Leong) which I posted previously, I would like to stress that Leverett-J method of generating SHF is one of the many methods used in the industry. Some of the common methods used are: Cuddy Method, Leverett-J, Skelt-Harrison, Lambda Function, Thomeer, Brooks-Corey and Heseldin. Personally, I have only used Cuddy Method, Leverett-J and Skelt-Harrison. There are numerous technical papers on the subject of SHF. I have found the following three papers to be very helpful.

1) Skelt, C and Harrison R., 1995, An integrated approach to saturation height analysis: SPWLA 36th Annual Logging Symposium, paper NNN.

2) SPE 71326 Saturation Height Methods and Their Impact on Volumetric Hydrocarbon in Place Estimates by Harrison et al.

3) WHICH SATURATION-HEIGHT FUNCTION? by Stephen J Adams (SPWLA-2016 57th Annual Logging Symposium)

I and my colleague A.H Asari Ramli authored and presented a paper “WATER SATURATION FROM GENERIC CAPILLARY PRESSURE CURVES” at the 17th Japan Formation Evaluation Symposium in 2011. Happy reading!!!
