Abstract
A determination of the free water level for a hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir is provided that accounts for the different classified rock types (that is, facies) in the reservoir. The free water level for each unique combination of facies is determined using a least squares minimization between a reference bulk volume of oil (B) determined from well logs a bulk volume of oil (B) calculated from a saturation height function for each of the facies present in the reservoir. Systems and process for determining the free water level are provided.
