− | | Plot measured pressure from the aquifers (100% S<sub>w</sub> ) in the well. If none is available, go to step 3. | + | | Plot measured pressure from the [[aquifer]]s (100% water saturation [S<sub>w</sub>] ) in the well. If none is available, go to step 3. |
− | | Calculate and plot hydrostatic pressures for a depth above and a depth below the zone of interest. Use the rule-of-thumb pressure gradient for that zone. If it is not available, calculate the gradient from the water density using density measured from the formation water or calculated from R<sub>w</sub> . For help, see the following sections. | + | | Calculate and plot hydrostatic pressures for a depth above and a depth below the zone of interest. Use the rule-of-thumb pressure gradient for that zone.
