Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for conducting formation analysis. Data from borehole logging tools is used to conduct a petrophysical analysis of the formation in order to determine (quantify) total porosity and formation matrix permittivity for an interval of the formation. Noninvaded zone water saturation and flushed zone water saturation for the interval of the formation is determined using a saturation model of the interval. The noninvaded zone water saturation is compared to the flushed zone water saturation, and the results of the comparison are used to determine that the interval of the formation contains movable hydrocarbon, immobile hydrocarbon or movable formation water.
