DEEP EVALUATION OF RESISTIVE ANOMALIES IN BOREHOLE ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

A drill string can include at least one transmit antenna and at least one receive antenna. The transmit antenna transmits at least one electromagnetic signal into a region of an earth formation. The receive antenna receives the signal from the region of the earth formation. The transmit antenna comprises one of a magnetic dipole and an electric dipole, and the receive antenna comprises the other of the magnetic dipole and the electric dipole. At least one characteristic of the region of the earth formation is determined, based at least partially on the signal received by the receive antenna. A homogenous part of the electromagnetic signal may be reduced, to thereby increase a depth of detection of the characteristic.
