Patent ID: 8841913

Claim:
A method to determine one or more parameters of a formation traversed by a borehole, comprising: disposing a tool in the borehole, wherein at least a portion of the formation traversed by the borehole has substantially parallel boundaries, and further wherein the tool includes a first transmitter having a transmitter dipole moment at an angle θ T with respect to a longitudinal axis of the tool and a first receiver having a receiver dipole moment at an angle θ R with respect to the longitudinal axis of the tool, the first transmitter and the first receiver comprising a first transmitter-receiver pair; transmitting an electromagnetic signal from the first transmitter while rotating the tool; receiving the electromagnetic signal from the first receiver to produce an electromagnetic formation measurement signal from the first transmitter-receiver pair; measuring an azimuth angle of tool rotation; and determining the one or more formation parameters for the portion of the formation having substantially parallel boundaries using the electromagnetic formation measurement signal from only the first transmitter-receiver pair in relation to the azimuth angle of tool rotation.
