Diagnostics of Oil Pollution Zones by Electro-Physical Method

Abstract

The article presents the rationale and development of electro physical methods of control of the degree of soils pollution with petroleum products. The ranges of variation for the parameters of the pore space structure and wettability for the Kuzbass conditions are determined by inverse calculations on the basis of experimental data. The theoretical dependences are shown which allow us to assess the degree of soil pollution with oil products according to the results of longitudinal and areal electrical sounding. The study confirms the possibility of rapid prediction of the degree of soil contamination by measuring its electrical resistance. The database has been compiled for interpretation of the results of experimental sounding when monitoring the changes in the degree of contamination. The use of the express forecast of numerical values of the contamination factor was studied.
