Resistivity log responses are different when the oil layers is filled by a polymer solution or water and it seriously affects the log interpretation of the water flooded layer. In this paper, we first analyze the electrical properties of the polymer solution. Then, according to the different processes for polymer flooding the reservoir, we perform rock resistivity experiments and analyze the rock resistivity variations in different displacement phases. We also compare the resistivity log responses of oil layers filled with the polymer solution to those filled with water. The results show that when displacing the oil-bearing core by different polymers, the resistivity changes monotonously decrease and show either ＂W＂ type or ＂S＂ type. The resistivity log responses are weak when displacing water and there is no flooded show if the oil layer is injected by a fresh water polymer solution. If the oil layer is injected by a sewage polymer solution, the resistivity log response has similar characteristic as a polluted water flooded layer.
