Abstract
Simple models to predict the variation of dielectric parameters for Green River oil shale with selected variables, are presented. The relative dielectric constant, ε′, was chosen as a representative parameter for these computations. A composite ε′ value was derived for the shale matrix while simultaneously varying shale organic content, moisture content, porosity and mineral composition. Both linear and logarithmic averaging methods were utilized to arrive at these composite ε′ values. In addition, the influence of organic pyrolysis and thermal alterations in the mineral matrix on the composite ε′ value for the shale matrix, were considered. Comparison with experimental results are presented where possible. The utility of these model predictions for assay and diagnostic applications in oil shale technology is described.
