Summary:Various methods are disclosed for evaluating water saturation characteristics in a geological formation penetrated by a borehole, including injection fluid introduced into the formation by an external injection process performed upon the formation. In various embodiments, the total water saturation may be obtained from the relationship provided by the Triple Water Equation, and used to map saturation in the formation and making drilling decisions.
