The authors present a concept of fractal modeling for describing the characteristics of electric conductivity in an oil-saturated medium. The special cluster structure of the electric field of the medium makes it possible to define the Hausdorff dimension \(D\) of the two-phase continual cluster under consideration. The electric conductivity of a medium \(\sigma\) is defined by the formula \[ \sigma = e\mu p(\vartheta - \vartheta_c)^t,\qquad \vartheta = (l_s/L)^D, \] where \(\vartheta\) denotes the fraction of the medium occupied by an electric conductivity phase, \(l_s\) is the effective width of the electric conductivity of the medium. The function \(\Phi\) that simulates the flexion of the so-called effective areas in the medium satisfies an integral equation which is studied by numerical methods. The results of numerical analysis make it possible to clarify the dependence of the electric conductivity of an oil-saturated medium on the parameters of the process.
