Method for compensating dielectric attenuation in downhole galvanic measurements

摘要

A logging tool used in a borehole having non-conductive mud. The tool includes a known inductance in series with an electrode. The quality factor of a circuit that includes the electrode, the inductance and the earth formation is indicative of the resistivity of the formation. The quality factor may be determined using either a plurality of signals or by measuring a transient response.
