Abstract: A mathematical model of the axisymmetric distribution of the phases in the zone of invasion of the water-based drilling mud into the productive stratum whose porous space can simultaneously contain three immiscible fluids (oil, gas, and natural water) is constructed; the model takes into account the high rate of heat transfer between the fluids and the rock matrix. It is shown that the resistivity of the invaded zone depends not only on saturation of the latter by the fluids and the concentration of salts in the water phase, but also on the drilling mud filtrate temperature. It is also shown that there is a jump in the function of stratum saturation by oil on the thermal front.

Keywords: invaded zone, flow of immiscible fluids, thermal front, resistivity.
