Effect of capillary pressure (left) on water saturation (right). At any given height above the free water level, water saturations vary widely among rock types (A-E) due to diffferences in capillarity. For example, at 50 ft above free water level, water saturations vary from 18% (rock type A) to 95% (rock type E). A well drilled into an interbedded sequence of these rock types would show multiple oil-water contacts and a highly irregular vertical saturation profile. Note also the wide transition zone in rock type B caused by poor sorting of the pore throats.
