Abstract

In this chapter, the effects of electric and acoustic field interaction in porous media saturated with water or hydrocarbons are presented. The results of experimental studies of electric resistivity of free electrolytes, oils, and saturated models of rocks in an ultrasonic field are shown. Resistivity of electrolytes varies rather insignificantly comparing to that of oil subject to elastic energy. A theoretical model to explain the obtained experimental results is proposed. The formulae derived offer a possibility to calculate changes of electric resistivity of oil in a wide spectrum of ultrasonic vibration intensities, and to make quantitative evaluation of the mechano-electric effect. The obtained results suggest possibilities of inventing new methods in geophysical prospecting.
