A Pickett plot lets us compare water saturations of different parts of a reservoir in one or many wells. The Pickett plot<ref name=ch09r45>Pickett, G., R., 1973, Pattern recognition as a means of formation evaluation: The Log Analyst, vol. 14, no. 4, p. 3–11.</ref> is a visual representation of the [[Archie equation]]<ref name=Archie_1942>Archie, G. E., 1942, The electrical resistivity log as an aid in determining some reservoir characteristics: Petroleum Transactions of AIME 146: 54–62.</ref> and therefore is a powerful graphic technique for estimating S<sub>w</sub> ranges within a reservoir. All that is needed to make a Pickett plot is a set of porosities and corresponding resistivities taken from well logs and 2×4 cycle log-log paper. The procedure for making a Pickett plot consists of five steps, detailed below.
