METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE USE OF MULTICOMPONENT INDUCTION TOOL FOR GEOSTEERING AND FORMATION RESISTIVITY DATA INTERPRETATION IN HORIZONTAL WELLS

摘要

Measurements made with a multicomponent logging instrument when used in a
substantially horizontal borehole in earth formations are diagnostic of the
direction of beds relative to the position of the borehole. When the logging
instrument is conveyed on a drilling assembly, the drilling trajectory may be
maintained to follow a predetermined trajectory or to maintain a desired
distance from a boundary such as an oil-water contact.
