ARPS FORMULA
For constant solution
R1(T1 + 7) = R2(T2 + 7) (T in deg F)
R1(T1 + 21.5) = R2(T2 + 21.5) (T in deg C)

FORMATION FACTOR
The formation factor (F) depends on:
Porosity of the formation;
Pore geometry;
Lithology of the formation;
Degree of cementation; and
Type and amount of clay in the rock.
FORMATION FACTOR
For a clean formation (no shale), the formation factor can
usually be empirically correlated with porosity.
F=
a
m
Common values
F = 0.8/2 (Tixier) or 0.62/2.15 (Humble) for sandstones
F = 0.8/2 for carbonates

As increases, more of
the rock volume is
comprised of pores
filled with conductive
fluid
Therefore, Ro and F
decrease
