    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses to generate a crosswell data set are described. In certain aspects, a method includes producing a first electromagnetic field at the earth's surface with a transmitter at a first location, detecting in a first borehole a first field signal induced by the first electromagnetic field, detecting in a second borehole a second field signal induced by the first electromagnetic field, and generating a crosswell data set from the first field signal and the second field signal. A formation model may be created from the crosswell data set.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving one or more datasets including measured vertical electric and magnetic fields excited by one or more radial and azimuthal electric field antennas from a downtool into one or more processors, wherein each of the one or more datasets corresponds to a different position of the one or more radial azimuthal electric field antennas, simultaneously inverting the one or more datasets using the one or more processors, and as a result of the simultaneous inversion, generating by the one or more processors a three-dimensional (3D) image of a portion of the geological formation.

    Abstract: An electromagnetic (EM) data acquisition method for a geological formation may include operating EM measurement devices to determine phase and amplitude data from the geological formation. The EM measurement devices may include at least one first EM measurement device within a borehole in the geological formation, and at least one second EM measurement device at a surface of the geological formation. The method may further include processing the phase data independent from the amplitude data to generate a geological constituent map of the geological formation, and identifying different geological constituents in the geological constituent map based upon the measured amplitude data.

    Abstract: A method for steering a downhole tool includes receiving an electromagnetic (EM) signal from the downhole tool. The downhole tool is in a wellbore in a formation. The EM signal comprises a gap voltage and a gap current that are measured across a gap sub in the downhole tool. The method also includes determining a gap impedance based at least partially upon the gap voltage and the gap current. The method also includes determining a first formation resistivity at a first location in the wellbore based at least partially upon the gap impedance. The method also includes steering the downhole tool based at least partially upon the first formation resistivity.

    Abstract: A method for modeling an electromagnetic (EM) telemetry signal includes straightening a well in a model and dividing the well into a plurality of segments. The method also includes determining an electrical current in one or more of the segments when the well is straightened. The method also includes replacing the well with equivalent electrical sources based at least partially upon the electrical current in one or more of the segments. The method also includes bending the well back into its original shape in the model and determining the electrical current in one or more of the segments by projection when the well is back in its original shape. The method also includes summing EM fields for each of the one or more segments to estimate the EM telemetry signal.

    Abstract: EM-telemetry remote sensing wireless systems include a plurality of downhole tools in a drilling area, an array of electrodes at the earth's surface, a noise reduction manager, and an acquisition system. Each downhole tool transmits a modulated current into the formation to generate an electromagnetic signal at the earth's surface. The array of electrodes comprises a plurality of nodes. Each node has a plurality of electrodes that receives the signal. The signal received by the node has a signal component from the tool and a noise component from the area. The noise reduction manager has a de-mixing vector that filters the noise component of the signal and increases a signal to noise ratio. The acquisition system located on earth's surface wirelessly receives signal from each node.
