               These show considerable scatter, and I do not believe that they show
            anything useful in this case.

            Exercise 5.4: Thermal Decay Neutron Example


               The value of S w is 0.28.
               If S shale is increased to 30, the value of S w becomes 0.20. If it is lowered
            to 20, S w becomes 0.35. Therefore the uncertainty in S w resulting from the
            uncertainty in S shale is ±8 s.u.


            Exercise 5.5: Error Analysis

               Based on the Monte-Carlo analyses, the following ranges are proposed
            for the average properties for this well:
               The exercise was performed on zone 2 only, with the saturation analy-
            sis performed only over the oil-bearing part.
