Method and apparatus for making induction measurements through casing.

摘要

Apparatus and method for obtaining high resolution induction logs through borehole casing (15) by magnetically saturating the casing (15), logging with a tool (10) having different transmitter (35a, 35b)-to-receiver (40) coil spacings, and determining the formation (30) conductivities as a function of the coil spacings, coil frequency, and phase difference between the signals at these spacings. The logging is preferably done at an intermediate frequency which gives good resolution but is little affected by the saturated casing. <IMAGE>
