Abstract: A rotor comprises a support intended to be mounted rotatable around a rotation axis in a centrifuge enclosure. The support having at least one housing for receiving the sample. At least one electrically powered sensor held by the support, configured to measure a property of the sample. A contactless power receiver, configured to receive electrical power without contact from a contactless power transmitter, the contactless power receiver being carried by the support and being jointly rotatable with the support, the contactless power receiver being electrically connected to the at least one sensor to electrically power the at least one sensor during a rotation of the support.

Abstract: The method comprises feeding a second fluid in a porous sample; measuring a resistivity or/and conductivity in a plurality of regions having different second fluid contents in the porous sample; and repeating the following steps. Determining an estimated local volume of first fluid contained in each region from the resistivity or/and conductivity measured in the region and from an estimated value of the representative parameter; calculating an estimated total volume of first fluid in the porous sample from each estimated local volume of first fluid contained in each region; and modifying the value of the estimated representative parameter to minimize the difference between the estimated total volume and a measured total volume of fluid produced from the porous sample, the representative parameter of the porous sample being the estimated representative parameter minimizing said difference.

Abstract: The method comprises the following steps providing a porous sample containing a first fluid; establishing a steady state profile of a second fluid content in the porous sample by applying a first mechanical load, to create a plurality of regions having different second fluid contents in the porous sample; measuring, in each of the plurality of regions, a local saturation in the first fluid or/and in the second fluid; measuring, in each of the plurality of regions, a corresponding local electrical resistivity and/or conductivity; and determining a value of the representative parameter based on the corresponding values of local saturation and of local electrical conductivity and/or resistivity in each of the plurality of regions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of analyzing a rock sample, comprising:—placing a rock sample (2) containing a first fluid into a cell (1);—feeding the cell (1) with at least one second fluid and withdrawing said second fluid from the cell (1), leaving the rock sample (2) immersed in the second fluid; and—measuring an amount of first fluid spontaneously released from the rock sample (2). The invention also relates to an apparatus adapted for implementing this method.
