5.6 Sample 4 from the previous data set was flooded with crude oil, in several steps, in order to displace the brine. The remaining water saturation and V values were measured at each of these displacement steps. Based on the measured data given in the following and other data from problem 5.5, calculate the true formation resistivity Rt as a function of water saturation Sw and subsequently determine the saturation exponent n of the Archie's saturation equation.

5.5 Six cylindrical core plugs of 2.54cm diameter and 3.81cm length were taken from an Alaskan North Slope reservoir. After cleaning, porosities of all the plugs were measured by a helium porosimeter. Subsequently, all samples were fully saturated with a 0.07m brine such that Sw=1. Each sample was placed in a resistivity apparatus, and V values were measured for a current flow of 0.01A. Determine the formation factor F, for each core plug, and estimate parameters a and m for Archie's formation factor equation.
