Comparison of water saturation models based on well logging data : a case study of MX field in Malay Basin

One of the primary methods to determine water saturation is logging measurement which uses water saturation models. Archie`s interpretation model to estimate water saturation in clean formations has successfully been useful over the years. However, in shaly sand formation this model yields inaccurat...
