Title: Determining an electric conductivity of an earth formation formed of different earth layers penetrated by a wellbore
Inventor: BEARD DAVID R
IPC: G01V3/28
Filed: 1997-06-30
Abstract: A method of determining an electric conductivity of an earth formation formed of different earth layers 3, 5, 7 which earth formation is penetrated by a wellbore 1 containing a wellbore fluid, is claimed.  The method comprises lowering an induction logging tool 9 into the wellbore 1 to a location surrounded by a selected one of the earth layers 3, 5, 7.  The tool 9 comprises magnetic field transmitter means 18 for inducing magnetic fields of different frequencies in the earth formation, and magnetic field receiver means 19 for receiving response magnetic fields and for providing a signal representative of each response magnetic field.  At least one of the transmitter means 18 and the receiver means 19 has a plurality of magnetic dipole moments 26, 28 in mutually orthogonal directions.  At least two of the different frequencies are selected, and for each selected frequency, the transmitter means 18 is operated so as to induce a magnetic field in the earth formation and the receiver means 19 is operated so as to provide a signal representing a response magnetic field.  At least one of the transmitter 18 and receiver means 19 is operated in the mutually orthogonal directions.  The signals are combined in a manner so as to create a combined signal having a reduced dependency on the electric conductivity in the wellbore region.  The formation resistivity and the relative orientation of the logging tool with respect to the formation layering are determined from the combined signal.
