Abstract:
The invention relates to measuring and generating electrical fields downhole. In one embodiment a system is provided that includes an amplifier connected to a first electrode in electrical contact with the Earth via an operative capacitive coupling. An additional electrode and amplifier are disposed in the borehole opposite the first electrode and constitute a first pair of electrodes spaced in a direction orthogonal to the axis. A second electrode is part of a group of counter electrodes spaced from each other and disposed outside the borehole. The first pair of electrodes and the amplifiers are configured to be one of a source that generates an electrical field in a direction substantially orthogonal to the axis of the borehole and a sensor that measures an electric field substantially orthogonal to the axis of the borehole.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of generating electrical fields with a system including a first electrode within the borehole and in contact with the Earth via an operative capacitive coupling, an additional electrode disposed in the borehole opposite the first electrode, wherein the first electrode and the additional electrode constitute a pair of electrodes spaced in a direction orthogonal to the axis of the borehole, an a first amplifier connected to the first electrode and an additional amplifier connected to the additional electrode, and a second electrode disposed outside the borehole, wherein the second electrode is part of a group of two or more counter electrodes remotely located from the borehole, the method comprising:\n generating a first electrical field with the first electrode and the additional electrode so that the electric field is oriented in a direction substantially orthogonal to the axis of the borehole; and measuring the electric field outside of the borehole.
