OILREX, excuse my ignorance, but a measurement of water contents come in at 52% (and it is not clear to me if that is just a percentage of the porosity or a percentage of the whole mass) and you tell me they are all wrong by a FACTOR of 5? Gee, I am just a simple physicist, and any measurement that cannot come to within 10% of the real value are often deemed worthless in my profession, and those that come within a factor of 5 are not even worth quoting in the "Journal of Irreproducible Results". If you are right and the inaccuracy is that large, could it be 50% on the other side, like 78% water instead of 52%? When you do a measurement of water electrically, I presume you probably make a measurement of the dielectric loss and AC impedance (at let say 1 Mhz?), and if your geometry is constant, I just cannot see inaccuracies as you quote and certainly not much larger than 10% of the real value. Can you enlighten us, the less proficient in the art of oil logging? By the way, if indeed these are the type of results received in the oil industry, I have got few very simple down well devices ready to improve the industry measurements' accuracy <VBG>. Zeev

Just to keep things in perspective and not to confuse the issue, Oliver did stated that the condition of the wellbore is a bit suspect and distortions by poor wellbore and gas are two condition that exist at this particular well. I'm still disappointed in the lack or history of this particular well. It frankly, was right from left/right field.
