Abstract
Methods are provided for determining values of a pore cementation exponent m and/or a saturation exponent n for locations in a formation having similar petrophysical properties. Formation porosity, formation water saturation, and an apparent cementation exponent mn are obtained for the locations and their values are utilized to find the exponents. In one embodiment, the apparent cementation exponent and the formation water saturation are obtained from a dielectric logging tool.
