Water Saturation in 10 Minutes
Water saturation tutorial
The video below is a quick tutorial on how to perform a water saturation calculation using Danomics Petrophysics software.
Water saturation is one of the final steps in the petrophysical workflow and will directly play into your calculations of in-place volumes. In this video we do a brief review of the methods available, the parameters you’ll need, and the interpretation modules you’ll need to have completed beforehand.
Danomics offers five methods for calculating water saturation, including:
- Archie
- Archie-PhiT
- Simandoux
- Modified Simandoux
- Indonesian
- Dual water
Pre-built Pickett plots and tools for calculating the geothermal gradient will help make calculations go quickly and allow you to fully understand your calculations.

DCA: Type well curves
In this video I demonstrate how to generate a well set filtered by a number of criteria and generate a multi-well type curve. Before starting this video you should already know how to load your data and create a DCA project. If not, please review those videos. Type well curves are generated by creating a decline that represents data from multiple wells.
DCA: Loading Production data
In this video I demonstrate how to load production and well header data for use in a decline curve analysis project. The first step is to gather your data. You’ll need: Production data – this can be in CSV, Excel, or IHS 298 formats. For spreadsheet formats you’ll need columns for API, Date, Oil, Gas, Water (optional), and days of production for that period (optional). Well header data – this can be in CSV, Excel, or IHS 297 formats.
Sample data to get started
Need some sample data to get started? The files below are from data made public by the Wyoming Oil and Gas Commission. These will allow you to get started with petrophysics, mapping, and decline curve analysis.
