Sw is the water saturation, the percentage of pore space that is occupied by immovable water, and will therefor exclude recoverable reserves. 1-Sw is this the percentage of pore space that is not occupied by water and is hence occupied by oil. ... This reflects the fact that oil under the ground in the reservoir occupies more space than it does when we get it up to the surface; it shrinks because gas bubbles come out of it as its pressure is eased during production. ...
