Nickzom Calculator Solves Formation Factor of Well Logging in Petroleum Engineering
Last Updated on February 10, 2024
Well logging is integral to petroleum engineering, providing crucial data about subsurface formations. Petroleum engineers rely on it to assess reservoir properties like porosity and permeability. Calculating the formation factor of well logging is essential for understanding fluid flow in these formations and a specialized calculator can expedite this process, enabling engineers to make informed decisions efficiently.
According to Schlumberger OilField Glossary, the ratio of the resistivity of a rock filled with water (Ro) to the resistivity of that water (Rw).

According to Wikipedia, well logging, also known as borehole logging is the practice of making a detailed record (a well log) of the geologic formations penetrated by a borehole. The log may be based either on visual inspection of samples brought to the surface (geological logs) or on physical measurements made by instruments lowered into the hole(geophysical logs).
On clicking on Well Logging
For the purpose of this, click on Formation Factor – Nickzom Calculator requires 2 parameters to solve the formation factor of a given data in well logging. These 2 parameters are:
- Resistivity of the Formation
- Resistivity of the Saturating Water
Now, enter the values of the parameters appropriately and accordingly.
Lastly, click on Calculate
The result is displayed for you to use.
