Method and system of controlling drilling direction using directionally sensitive resistivity readings

摘要

A method and system of controlling drilling direction using directionally sensitive resistivity readings. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods comprising transmitting an interrogating electromagnetic wave from a tool in a borehole into a formation surrounding the borehole, receiving a first responsive electromagnetic wave from the formation by a first receiving antenna having a sensitivity pattern with a single primary lobe, determining proximity of a bed boundary using the first responsive electromagnetic wave, and controlling drilling direction based on the proximity of the bed boundary.
