    Abstract: A method for making downhole electromagnetic logging measurements of a subterranean formation is disclosed. An electromagnetic logging tool is rotated in a subterranean wellbore. The tool includes a transmitter axially spaced apart from a receiver. The transmitter may include an axial transmitting antenna and at least one transverse transmitting antenna and the receiver may include an axial receiving antenna and at least one transverse receiving antenna. The transmitting antennas transmit corresponding electromagnetic waves into the subterranean wellbore. The receiving antennas receive corresponding voltage measurements which are processed to compute harmonic voltage coefficients. Ratios of the selected harmonic voltage coefficients are processed to compute gain compensated, azimuthally invariant measurement quantities.

    Abstract: A method for making gain compensated electromagnetic logging measurements of a subterranean formation includes rotating an electromagnetic logging tool in a subterranean wellbore. The logging tool includes a transmitter having at least one transmitting antenna axially spaced apart from a receiver having at least one receiving antenna. Electromagnetic waves are transmitted into the subterranean wellbore using the at least one transmitting antenna. Voltage measurements corresponding to the transmitted electromagnetic waves are received at the receiving antenna. The voltage measurements are processed to compute real and imaginary directional resistivity measurement quantities.

    Abstract: A method for making downhole electromagnetic logging while drilling measurements includes rotating an electromagnetic logging while drilling tool in a subterranean wellbore. The logging while drilling tool includes at least first and second tilted transmitter antennas longitudinally spaced along a logging while drilling tool body and at least first and second tilted receiver antennas. A plurality of electromagnetic voltage measurements is acquired at the first and second tilted receiver antennas while rotating and processed to compute harmonic voltage coefficient. Ratios of selected ones of the harmonic voltage coefficients are then processed to compute at least one gain compensated measurement quantity.

    Abstract: A method for making downhole electromagnetic logging while drilling measurements includes rotating an electromagnetic logging while drilling tool in a subterranean wellbore. The logging tool includes a plurality of transmitter antennas and a plurality of receiver antennas symmetrically spaced along a logging while drilling tool body, the plurality of transmitter antennas including at least one axial transmitter antenna and at least one transverse transmitter antenna. The plurality of receiver antennas includes at least one axial receiver antenna and at least one transverse receiver antenna. The receiver antennas are used to acquire electromagnetic voltage measurements while rotating. The voltage measurements are processed to compute harmonic voltage coefficients, selected ratios of which are processed to compute gain compensated symmetrized and anti-symmetrized quantities and angles. These quantities may optionally be further processed to compute rotated gain compensated symmetrized and anti-symmetrized quantities.

    Abstract: A method for making downhole electromagnetic logging measurements includes using an electromagnetic measurement tool to acquire the measurements while rotating in a subterranean wellbore. Received electromagnetic waves are processed to obtain harmonic voltage coefficients, ratios of which are in turn further processed to compute gain compensated measurement quantities. The gain compensated measurement quantities are further processed to compute at least one of an apparent formation azimuth of the formation through which the wellbore traverses, an apparent tool eccentering azimuth, and an eccentering distance of the logging tool in the wellbore.

    Abstract: A method for making downhole electromagnetic logging while drilling measurements includes rotating an electromagnetic logging while drilling tool in a subterranean wellbore. The logging tool includes first and second transmitters, each of which includes a tilted antenna, and a receiver axially spaced apart from one another. Electromagnetic voltage measurements are made at the receiver while the tilted transmitting antenna in the first transmitter fires during tool rotation. The electromagnetic voltage measurements are mathematically rotated through at least the arbitrary angle to obtain rotated measurements, selected ratios of which are processing to compute gain compensated measurement quantities.
