==Methods for determining fluid contacts==
   −
Methods for determining initial fluid contacts are listed in Table 1 and are discussed by [[Bradley (1987)]]. These include fluid sampling methods, saturation estimation from wireline logs, estimation from conventional and sidewall cores, and pressure methods. Once initial fluid contact elevations in control wells are determined, the contacts in other parts of the reservoir can be estimated. Initial fluid contacts within most reservoirs having a high degree of continuity are almost horizontal, so the reservoir fluid contact elevations are those of the control wells.
