Claim Text:
1. A method for determining a matrix permittivity of a porous material, the method comprising: measuring a first indicator indicative of a first dielectric permittivity of a fluid composition; saturating the porous material with the fluid composition; measuring a first response indicative of the dielectric permittivity of the saturated porous material; altering a thermodynamic property of the fluid composition, wherein the altered thermodynamic property produces a change in the dielectric permittivity of the fluid composition; measuring a second indicator indicative of a second dielectric permittivity of the altered fluid composition; measuring a second response indicative of the dielectric permittivity of the porous material saturated with the thermodynamically altered fluid composition; using the first and second indicators and the first and second responses to process the matrix permittivity of the porous material.
