Abstract
A method is developed to determine the Hydraulic conductivity and porosity of the formation surrounding a well as a function of depth. An electrically anomalous fluid is injected into a fully screened well and the radius of invasion is determined by induction logging. The radius of invasion is determined at several times so that the rate of invasion and the hydraulic head required to inject the tracer, a hydraulic conductivity log can be calculated. A porosity log can be obtained using Archie's rule and a model of formation electrical conductivity that accounts for the influence of the electrical conductivity of the formation matrix. The logs calculated by this method are insensitive to near-hole drilling disturbances. Field trials demonstrate that the results of the method agree well with other methods.
