发明名称 APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING PROPERTIES OF ANISOTROPIC EARTH FORMATIONS
摘要 A method is disclosed for determining the horizontal resistivity, vertical resistivity, and dip of formations surrounding a borehole, comprising the following steps: (a) suspending a logging device in the borehole; (b) transmitting electromagnetic energy from a transmitter location on the logging device, and receiving the transmitted electromagnetic energy at receiver locations on the logging device for a first transmitter-to-receivers spacing associated with the transmitter and receive r locations; (c) determining, from the received electromagnetic energy, measurement characteristics associated with the first transmitter-to-receivers spacing; (d) repeating steps (b) and (c) for a plurality of further transmitter-to-receivers spacings to obtain measurement characteristics for the plurality of further transmitter-to-receivers spacings; (e) generating a model of anisotropic formations that has horizontal resistivity Rh, vertical resistivity Rv, and a Dip angle with respect to a borehole reference; (f) selecting initial model values of Rh, Rv and Dip; (g) computing an error value from the differences, for each of a plurality of the transmitter-to-receivers spacings, between the measurement characteristics and model measurement characteristics obtained from the model using the model values of Rh,Rv, and Dip; (h) modifying the model values of Rh, Rv and Dip; (i) repeating steps (g) and (h) to minimize the error value; and (j) outputting the ultimately modified model values of Rh, Rv, and Dip.
