Abstract

Method and systems are provided that characterize a geological formation, which involve collecting or obtaining electrical signal data that results from interaction of electrical signals with the formation. The electrical signal data is processed to determine data characterizing relative permittivity and conductivity of the formation. The data characterizing relative permittivity and conductivity of the formation are used as inputs to models to determine data characterizing water saturation of the formation, particularly useful in formation evaluation and reservoir saturation dynamic monitoring in fresh water and mixed salinity environments.
