SCA 2001-34 1 ARE PORE LINING CHLORITES A CAUSE OF LOW RESISTIVITY IN SANDSTONES? François Henn*, Claudine Durand1 **, Adrian Cerepi2 ** , Etienne Brosse** and J.C. Giuntini* ABSTRACT Low resistivity in argillaceous sandstone reservoirs may be attributed either to the effect of microporosity, or to specific effects due to clays and/or to conducting minerals. In the frame of a study on pore lining chlorite bearing sandstones, from different hydrocarbon reservoirs, measurements of cation exchange capacities and specific surface areas have been performed, on whole rocks as well as on size separated fractions. Both sets of values are low, in agreement with the structural and textural observations. The dielectric properties, including intrinsic conductivity, of these chlorites have been investigated, on size separated fractions, as a function of temperature, and compared to that of reference clays. The results show a large influence of the moisture, current frequency, and temperature on the electrical properties. The chemical composition and structure of the clays has an obvious influence as well. However, the range of conductivities is such that the intrinsic influence of clays on the conductivity of argillaceous sandstone is lower than that related to the presence of water by several orders of magnitude.
