Mem91BuoyancyForcesFig26.jpg|{{figure number|3}}Water saturation decreases with height in an oil column. The volume of water is a function of the balance of capillary forces pulling the water up from the oil-water interface and the force of gravity acting together with the density contrast between the reservoir fluids, tending to pull the water down.

Mem91BuoyanceForcesFig27.jpg|{{figure number|4}}The shape of the curves on a capillary pressure plot reflects the grain sorting and the connection of pores and pore throats within the various rock types. The longer the plateau shown by the capillary curve, the better is the reservoir quality of the rock (from Sneider et al., 1977). Reprinted with permission from the Society of Petroleum Engineers.
