2D sections of porosity and water saturation percent from combined resistivity and seismic surveys for hydrogeologic studies

Abstract

Porosity and water saturation percent, or their product—the water content—are important parameters for most hydrogeologic studies. Geophysical methods, especially the resistivity method, are routinely applied to studying variations in these parameters at field scales. Resistivity is highly influenced by the presence of water in pore spaces and therefore well suited for studying fluids and saturation. Laboratory and field work are being correlated
