The third track on this log indicates Porosity and Fluids Analysis by Volume. The
black coding indicates hydrocarbon and white indicates water, while their
envelope defines the porosity. Comparison of the initial and later monitor runs
indicates a movement of the hydrocarbon/water contact in both zones A and B.
The shaded area corresponds to the moved hydrocarbons.
Residual Oil SaturationOne method for determining residual oil saturation (ROS)
after a reservoir waters out is the log-inject-log technique. This basically involves
injecting relatively fresh water of known salinity into the formation to be tested,
thereby displaceing the native formation waters and all movable hydrocarbons,
and then running a pulsed neutron capture log. This is followed by a second
injection with high-salinity water, and a second log run. The residual oil
saturation is then given by the equation

The neutron generator emits a burst of neutrons which causes oxygen (present in
water molecules) in the borehole to become activated. If the water is moving up
past the tool, a population of activated water is formed. This activated water has
a half-life of about seven seconds, and as the oxygen atoms return to their
normal state, gamma rays are emitted. These gamma rays are counted by the
detectors and are shown as an increase in the background counts. Oxygen
activation has particular application in production logging, where it is used to
identify water flow in wellbores or behind casing strings. Tools such as Western
Atlas Hydrolog or Schlumbergers Water Flow Log (WFL) are used for this
purpose.
