Interpretation of electrical (EL) and electromagnetic (EML) logging is divided into two stages – the stage of geophysical interpretation and the stage of geological (petrophysical) interpretation. The stage of geophysical interpretation of logging includes a quantitative assessment of the quality of the registration curves of the complex EL and EML, point and interval interpretation (taking into account the design features of the equipment) to obtain the values of the electrical resistivity of the formation of the apparent resistance curve and the static potential of the logging curve of spontaneous polarization (PS). The result of the interpretation of the EL and EML data is the electrical resistivity of the formation, the penetration zone and the relative diameter of the penetration zone. The result of interpretation of PS logging data is the value of static potential. The stage of geological interpretation is carried out on the basis of petrophysical models of electrical resistivity and diffusion-adsorption potential of the reservoir and the values of electrical resistivity and static potential of the reservoir, obtained from the results of geophysical interpretation within the model of electrodynamics of the continuous medium.

The paper deals with the issues of automated interpretation of data of domestic and foreign complex of EL and EML, the original method of calculating the coefficient of oil and gas saturation and specific absorption capacity of clayey terrigenous reservoirs on the basis of combining the method of spontaneous polarization and methods of electrical and electromagnetic logging. The proposed method of determining the specific capacity of absorption, which is the lithological characteristics of the reservoir, and the coefficient of water saturation on the basis of integrated interpretation of spontaneous polarization method, implemented by hardware bigradient (divergent) logging of PS, and methods of EL and EML.
