The Oddo-Tomson index accounts for the impact of pressure and partial pressure of carbon dioxide on the pH of water, and on the solubility of calcium carbonate. This empirical model also incorporates corrections for the presence of two or three phases (water, gas, and oil). Interpretation of the index is by the same scale as for the LSI and Stiff-Davis indices.
