Abstract:
1. A method comprising: making measurements in a borehole using a measurement tool for each azimuthal bin of a plurality of azimuthal bins, each azimuthal bin corresponding to a different angular range around the borehole relative to a reference location; measuring a standoff for each of the azimuthal bins; determining a value of at least one of a formation property or a borehole property around a borehole for each azimuthal bin from the measurements; electronically computing a weighted average of the at least one of the formation property or the borehole property using the determined value for each azimuthal bin and a weight associated with each azimuthal bin, the weight associated with each azimuthal bin being derived from the measured standoff for each of the azimuthal bins; and storing the weighted average in a memory operatively coupled to the measurement tool.
