Abstract

Electrical resistivity of a rock-sample is dependant on not only formation factor of rock itself but also many parameters such as fluid type, measuring device, temperature, water saturation, electrical contact between electrode and core section, induced polarization, and frequency of electric source. In this study, we attempt to verify various affecting factors in core resistivity measurements and to find a better environment for core resistivity measurement. Particularly great attention has been paid to understanding the effects of temperature, water saturation, contact condition between sample and electrodes, and frequency of electric source. Precise measurement of resistivity can be achieved by utilizing silver paste for better contacts, taping samples for constant moisture contents, and using time-series resistivity data.

암석의 비저항값은 암석 자체의 성질뿐만 아니라 유체의 종류, 온도, 물 포화율, 접촉상태, 유도분극, 측정기기 및 사용전원의 주파수 등, 여러 요인에 의하여 영향을 받는다. 이 연구는 암석의 비저항을 정확하고 정밀하게 측정하기 위한 기초 연구의 일환으로서, 비저항 실측자료를 비교 분석하는 과정을 통하여 비저항 측정에 영향을 주는 다양한 요소들을 추적하고, 아울러 비저항 측정에 있어서 최적의 환경 조건을 찾고자 하였다. 특히 온도, 물 포화율, 시료와 전극의 접촉상태, 측정 주파수의 영향 등이 종합적으로 분석되었으며, 전도성 접착제와 절연 테이핑 방법 그리고 시계열 비저항자료의 이용이 비저항 측정의 정확도와 정밀도 향상에 크게 기여할 수 있음을 보였다.
