A Buckles plot is a plot of water saturation (S<sub>w</sub>) vs. [[porosity]]. Contours of equal bulk volume water (BVW) are drawn on the plot.
* Points plot on a hyperbolic BVW line where the formation is near immobile water if the points come from a reservoir with consistent pore type and pore geometry.
* Points scatter on a Buckles plot where the formation falls below the top of the transition zone.
