HELP: Hingle and Pickett Plots
Modify Archie Equation Parameters

The slope of the Water Saturation (Sw), Bulk Volume Water (Bvw), Permeability (K) Plot lines are affected by the Archie Parameters. Two examples are provided below, which show two distinct slopes and different interpretation for the data. The Hingle & Pickett Plots do not automatically determine the correct Archie Parameters, but requires that the user has some understanding of the plot data and geology.

Default 100% Water Saturation (Sw) Plot Line

Modified 100% Water Saturation (Sw) Plot Line
