Figure 16. Water saturation $(S_{w})$ curves from a Cypress Sandstone interval. Logged interval from the John O. Coen 120 well (API 121592608300, Section 4, T3N, R9E). Well produced from the Cypress. ${\bar{ϕ}}_{m}$ = average clay mineral microporosity; OWC = oil–water contact; ROZ = residual oil zone; $S_{w}$ Archie = water saturation from the Archie equation (Archie, 1942); $S_{w}$ Dual Water $(V_{e})$ = water saturation with a clay mineral volume input of 4%; $S_{w}$ Dual Water $(V_{e}$ illite ${\bar{ϕ}}_{m}$ = 95%) = water saturation with a clay mineral volume input of 8%; $S_{w}$ Dual Water $(V_{s h})$ = water saturation with the clay mineral content estimated from gamma-ray logs; V_e = effective clay mineral volume; $V_{s h}$ = volume of shale.
