Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for characterizing formation water salinity of subsurface formation using multifrequency permittivity data over a range of frequencies below 1 MHz. The multifrequency permittivity data is processed to determine salinity of formation water contained in the subsurface formation. Other useful formation properties (such as formation water saturation) can be determined based on the formation water salinity.
