文摘The size of pores and throats is at the nano- meter scale in tight oil and shale gas zones, and the resistivity of these reservoirs is very high, so the reservoirs show more dielectric properties than conductivity proper- ties. The conductive and dielectric characteristics of a parallel plate capacitor full of fresh water, NaCl solutions, and solid dielectrics, for example, sands are investigated in this paper, and the capacitance data of the non-gas capacitor are measured at different salinities and frequencies by a spectrum analyzer.
