RESISTIVTY LOGGING WITH REDUCED DIP ARTIFACTS

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for reducing boundary-related artifacts in logs taken from resistivity logging tools. Such tools often exhibit "horns" at boundaries between formation beds having different resistivities. A boundary indicator signal serves to identify the location of these boundaries. When derived from an azimuthally-sensitive resistivity tool, the bed boundary indicator may have a magnitude and shape that serves to nearly eliminate the horns even in high- dip angle environments. Logs that are processed to eliminate these artifacts are expected to be more accurate and thus easier to interpret.
