Abstract

See full text

A method of identifying complex lithologies of subsurface rock formations includes the excitation of at least a portion of the rock formation with a multi-frequency electric current. The voltage resulting in the rock is measured and the phase and amplitude of such voltage is determined for each of the included frequencies. The resistivities are determined for each of the frequencies and are plotted as a function of frequency. The complex lithology of the rock formation is characterized by such plot.
