Abstract

See full text

A method for determining horizontal resistivity of an anisotropic formation and a formation anisotropy response factor with an induction logging tool is claimed. The method utilizes two differing induction type measurements to determine the horizontal resistivity for the formation without knowledge of a borehole dip angle. The differing induction measurements may be different types of measurements or the same type of measurement made under differing operating conditions. The method further discloses a means for determining the vertical resistivity of an anisotropic formation based on the dip angle, the horizontal resistivity and the formation anisotropy response factor.
