Water salinity from density equation

Handy equation to get formation water (brine) salinity from the density.

Water salinity from density equation [1]

Math and Physics

 C_{mg/l} = 10e7 (SG_w - 1) / 7.8216

Nomenclature

 C_{mg/l} = water salinity / solids concentration, mg/l
 SG_w = water specific gravity, dimensionless
