Determine the porosity for a sandstone using Archie's and Humble equation . The formation water's
resisitivity was 0.5 ohm-meters. The formation rock 100% saturated with this water was 21.05 ohm-
meters.
F = 0.62/f 2.15
f 2.15 = 0.62/F
f = 14.06%

A core sample coated with paraffin was immersed in a Russell tube. The dry sample weighed 20.0 gm.
The dry sample coated with paraffin weighed 20.9 gm. The paraffin coated sample displaced 10.9 cc of
liquid. Assume the density of solid paraffin is 0.9 gm/cc. What is the bulk volume of the sample?
Solution: Weight of paraffin coating = 20.9 gm - 20.0 gm = 0.9 gm Volume of paraffin coating = 0.9 gm /
(0.9 gm/cc) = 1.0 cc Bulk volume of sample = 10.9 cc - 1.0 cc = 9.9 cc
