    Abstract: A tool is for use in a borehole during drilling with a drilling fluid circulating in the borehole. The tool may include a housing, a plurality of spaced apart radio frequency (RF) transmitters carried by the housing, spaced apart RF receivers carried by the housing, and a controller to communicate with the plurality of transmitters and the receivers. The controller may, at a given depth within the borehole, determine attenuation resistivity measurements and phase-shift resistivity measurements both corresponding to different radial distances from the borehole. The controller may also determine when a fracture has occurred in the geological formation at the given depth allowing the drilling fluid to intrude into the geological formation based upon the attenuation resistivity measurements and the phase-shift resistivity measurements.

    Abstract: A method for determining a level of organic maturity of a shale gas formation includes inverting multifrequency complex conductivity data to estimate a volume fraction of graphite, turbostatic carbon nanostructures, and pyrite. The inversion is validated using estimates of the volume fraction of graphite, turbostatic carbon nanostructures, and pyrite. The volume fraction of graphite and turbostatic carbon nanostructures is correlated to a level of organic maturity log of the shale gas formation. The level of organic maturity log is validated using sulfur content obtained from pyrolysis or vitrinite reflectance. A variation of an electromagnetic response due to the volume fraction of graphite, turbostatic carbon nanostructures, and pyrite is quantified. The electromagnetic response is modified by removing the quantified variation to obtain resistivity and permittivity values.

    Abstract: A method can include receiving dielectric data from a downhole dielectric tool of a drillstring disposed in a borehole in a target material that includes a target material boundary between the target material and one or more other materials; generating a geosteering command, based at least in part on the dielectric data, that calls for orienting a drill bit of the drillstring with respect to the target material boundary; and issuing the geosteering command to a geosteering actuator of the drillstring.
