RESUMEN
Due to the influence of multiple factors on the conductive properties of rocks, the Archie's formula, considering only a single factor, makes it difficult to reasonably explain rock-electric characteristics of cracked porous rocks. In order to better describe the conductive mechanism of cracked porous rocks, a generalized multifactor conductivity model was proposed by considering and introducing multiple influencing factors such as the series-parallel structure, conductive matrix, cracks, and fluids, which is conducive to more accurate research on the conductive mechanism of rocks. It should be noted that the developed model is not only applicable to cracked porous rocks but also useful for porous rocks. Through the study and analysis of various influencing factors, it is demonstrated by the simulation results that both the conductive matrix and cracks improve the conductive ability, which are crucial factors resulting in the non-Archie behavior and low-resistivity pay zone, and rock conductivity is more sensitive to the conductive matrix and cracks in tight reservoirs with porosity below 10%. Furthermore, experimental data are available to validate the novel multifactor conductivity model, and the comparison results show its advantages in predicting and explaining the conductive properties of cracked porous rocks.
