Method and system for determining fluid saturations within natural or simulated fractures

摘要

A method and system for determining fluid saturation within a fracture. The method comprises the steps of establishing a functional relationship between fluid saturation and capacitance for a multiple component fluid; introducing the fluid between the fracture faces of the fractured media; measuring electrical capacitance between the fracture faces; and determining fluid saturation from the capacitance measurement and the functional relationship. The method and system find utility with both simulated and natural fractures.
