ABSTRACT:
A method and device with application to petrophysical measurements on porous rocks for measuring the resistivity anisotropy of rocks exhibiting layerings of different conductivity such as laminations is disclosed. The method comprises setting a sample saturated with a first fluid into a petrophysical measurement device allowing the sample to be subjected to drainage operations by injection under pressure of a second fluid. At least one pressure injection is established for the second fluid, and continuous and precise measurements of the variations in the complex electrical impedance of the sample at several frequencies are performed during a displacement of the saturating fluid. Measurements of the impedance exhibited by the sample in a position where the layerings are oriented substantially transverse to the electrical field (EF) created by applying the electric current are performed and then the same measurements are performed where the layerings are oriented substantially in the direction of the electrical field. The resistivity anisotropy is then determined.
