Abstract
A method for determining one or more parameters of a rock sample, comprising the steps of measuring the magnetic susceptibility of the sample, and determining a value of the parameter using that measured susceptibility. For example, the measured susceptibility can be used to determine fractional mineral content, permeability, cation exchange capability per unit pore volume, and flow zone indication.
