Title: Induced polarization of shaly sands - The effect of clay counterion type

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6621104

The effects of clay counterion type on complex conductivities of shaly sands were studied for the Na/sup +/, Li/sup +/, K/sup +/, Ca/sup ++/ and (C/sub 2/H/sub 5/)/sub 4/N/sup +/ ions. The results are treated in terms of the Waxman-Smits in-phase conductivity equation and a new relation describing the quadrature conductivity. Topics considered include polarization, geochemistry, calculation methods, ionic conductivity, and reservoir rock.
