Rock with electrolytic conductivity and second
conductivity component-shaly rocks, shaly sands
v Additional conductive components in natural rocks are clay
minerals with clay-bound water-forming shaly rocks or shaly
sands. Clay and grain surface phenomena create a “double layer
or interface conductivity”.
v Two conductivity components: water saturated (C0) as a function
of Cw, excess conductivity c

Rock with electrolytic conductivity and second
conductivity component-shaly rocks, shaly sands
v The shaly sand problem: presence of shale in a reservoir
▪ Decrease the reservoir quality (porosity, permeability)
▪ Create an additional electrical conductivity component,
Archie’s equation results are overestimated
v Additional conductivity depends on:
▪ Shale type (mineral)
▪ Shale content (volume fraction)
▪ Distribution of shale in the formation (laminar shale,
dispersed shale, structural shale)
