ABSTRACT:
A new functional parameter reprsentative of the geometrical distribution of matrix material and the variable geometrical distribution of hydrocarbon and water in pore spaces in a porous earth formation is determined and is used to evaluate, or to determine, water saturation of the formation from dielectric permittivity measurements.
