Abstract: The reservoir resistivity of the Chang 2 Oil Formation is too low to be identified in the midwestern Ordos Basin. The causes for the low resistivity are the basis for the analysis and identification of low-resistivity reservoirs. The study of the low resistivity of the Chang 2 Formation is therefore important. The relationships between each geological factor and the reservoir resistivity were analyzed in the study area to determine the main reasons for the low resistivity using the analysis of data from rock physics experiments and logging and oil test data. The results show that the low resistivity is mainly controlled by the highly irreducible water saturation, high salinity of the stratum water, and complex pore structure; however, it is not governed by the content of conductive minerals in the reservoir. Moreover, the clay mineral content and the small clastic grain size have a small effect on the reservoir resistivity.
