“…As applied voltage is removed a transient decay voltage is produced as the ions diffuse back to their original positions. Marshall and Madden (1959) indicate that membrane and metallic polarization effects are difficult to distinguish on the basis of their electrical behaviour, as they both result from diffusion processes. Other mechanisms of IP have been identified, including electrokinetic, thermoelectric and electromagnetic effects (Marshall and Madden, 1959) and clay-organic reactions (Olhoeft, 1985).…”

Electrical impedance tomography was used to monitor the movement of a fluorinated hydrocarbon DNAPL through a saturated porous medium within a laboratory column. Impedance measurements were made using a horizontal plane of twelve electrodes positioned at regular intervals around the centre of the column. A 2D inversion algorithm, which incorporated the cylindrical geometry of the column, was used to reconstruct resistivity and phase images from the measured data. Differential time-lapse images of DNAPL movement past the plane of electrodes were generated by the cell-bycell subtraction of resistivity and phase baseline models from those associated with the DNAPL release stage of the experiment.The DNAPL pulse was clearly delineated as resistive anomalies in the differential time-lapse resistivity images. The spatial extent of the resistive anomalies indicated that, in addition to vertical migration, some lateral spreading of the DNAPL had occurred. Residual contamination could be detected after quasi-static conditions were re-established. Residual DNAPL saturation was estimated from the resistivity model data by applying Archie's second equation. Despite significant measured phase changes due to DNAPL contamination, the differential phase images revealed only weak anomalies associated with DNAPL flow; these anomalies could be seen only in the initial stages of the experiment during peak flow through the plane of electrodes.

“…[11] Membrane polarization is related to ion-selective zones in pore restrictions [Vacquier et al, 1957;Marshall and Madden, 1959]. Due to the diffuse layer, the narrowing of the channel for the transport of free ions in these restrictions leads to different ion transport numbers for cations and anions.…”

[1] The possibility to estimate permeability from the electrical spectral induced polarization (SIP) response might be the most important benefit offered by SIP measurements. It can thus be deduced that, in the future, SIP measurements will be carried out more frequently at the field scale or in a well-logging context to estimate permeability. In the shallow subsurface, however, the temperature generally exhibits seasonal variability, and in the deeper subsurface, it usually increases with depth. Hence, knowledge about the dependence of the SIP response on temperature is necessary in order to avoid possible misinterpretation of datasets impacted by thermal effects. In our study, we present a semiempirical framework to describe the temperature dependence of the SIP response. We briefly introduce the SIP response and its relation to permeability in terms of an electrochemical polarization mechanism and combine this formulation with relationships for the dependence of ionic mobility on temperature. We compare the predictions of our formulation with the experimental data from SIP measurements performed on sandstone at temperatures from 0°C to 80°C. The measured SIP response was transformed into a relaxation time distribution, using the empirical Cole-Cole model and a regularized Debye decomposition procedure. The SIP response was found to be in good agreement with the theoretical model. The temperature dependence of both direct current conductivity and relaxation time is controlled mainly by the dependence of ionic mobility on temperature, and the shape of the relaxation time distribution of the investigated sandstone is almost independent of temperature. The temperature effect on the SIP response can therefore be easily corrected.Citation: Zisser, N., A. Kemna, and G.

“…The current flow, defined by Ohm's law and the fluid flow, defined by Darcy's law, can be correlated by the theory of coupled flows. With reference to the earlier work of Marshall and Madden (1959) [23], Nourbehecht (1963) has produced the first model applying this approach, where solutions were formulated in terms of a total-or pseudo-potential [24]. However, the pseudopotential approach misrepresented the actual mechanisms that generate streaming potentials, and only applicable to hydraulically driven fluid flow.…”

Abstract. Downhole monitoring using streaming potential measurement has been developing in order to respond to actual reservoir condition. Most studies have emphasized on monitoring water flooding at various reservoir condition and improving the approaches of measurement. Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) could significantly improve oil recovery and the efficiency of the process should be well-monitored. Alkaline-surfactant-polymer (ASP) flooding is the most promising chemical EOR method due to its synergy of alkaline, surfactant and polymer, which could enhance the extraction of residual oil. However, limited studies have been focused on the application of streaming potential in EOR processes, particularly ASP. Thus, this paper aims to review the streaming potential measurement in downhole monitoring with an insight for EOR application and propose the potential measurement in monitoring ASP flooding. It is important for a preliminary study to investigate the synergy in ASP and the effects on oil recovery. The behaviour of streaming potential should be investigated when the environment of porous media changes with respect to ASP flooding. Numerical model can be generated from the experimental data to forecast the measured streaming potential signal during production associated with ASP flooding. Based on the streaming potential behaviour on foam assisted water alternate gas (FAWAG) and water alternate gas (WAG) processes, it is expected that the streaming potential could change significantly when ASP flooding alters the environment and surface properties of porous media. The findings could provide new prospect and knowledge in the relationship between streaming potential and ASP mechanisms, which could be a potential approach in monitoring the efficiency of the process.
