Estimation of Water Saturation in Shale Formation Using In Situ Multifrequency Dielectric Permittivity

<div>Log view of the well dataset. Comparison of different water saturation logs that are obtained by applying Archie’s equation, CRIM, and reference which is combination of Archie and Luffel’s equation. Each track shows (1) gamma ray and caliper, (2) conductivity, (3) dielectric permittivity, (4) degree of noisiness (standard deviation), (5) porosity, (6) optimized Archie’s parameter, (7) water

core measurement, (10) lithology scanner, and (11) total organic carbon. The noisiness logs of dielectric logging tool’s response are obtained by calculating the standard deviation of dielectric permittivity logs that are inside of the given interval window; 1.3 m (10 sampling points) in this example.</div>
