  • Abstract
    Oil, gas and water saturations in cores can be measured according to the properties of microwave energy traveling through a porous medium containing oil, gas and water. A novel measuring approach is presented along with an instrument for measurements. The instrument is characterized by its compact construction, low-cost, and high measurement precision. It has been used for research on three-phase relative permeability. It is shown that the measured error of saturation is within ±3.0%
