The preferred embodiment includes inserting a sonde into the wellbore, the sonde having a plurality of electrodes at axially spaced apart locations adapted to electrically contact the casing, applying electrical current between a first and a second one of the electrodes and measuring the current, measuring a first voltage between a first pair of electrodes axially disposed between the first and second electrodes and measuring a second voltage between a second pair of electrodes also axially disposed between the first and second electrodes and disposed externally to the first pair to determine casing resistance in between the pairs of electrodes. A second difference between the first and second voltages is also measured. Current is applied between other electrodes axially disposed to exclude a third pair of electrodes therebetween, and a third voltage is measured between the third pair to determine characteristic impedance. Current is applied between the first electrode and a surface return electrode, a fourth voltage is measured between the first pair of electrodes, a fifth voltage is measured between the second pair of electrodes, an additional second difference of voltages between the fourth voltage and the fifth voltage is measured, and formation resistivity is determined by combining the first voltage, the second voltage, the third voltage, the fourth voltage, the fifth voltage, the current measurements, the second difference and the additional second difference of the voltages.

    摘要: A method for interpreting electromagnetic survey data includes acquiring electromagnetic survey data near a top of a portion of the Earth's subsurface. An initial model of the portion of the Earth's subsurface is generated. The model includes at least spatial distribution of formation resistivity within the portion. The initial model is applied to an artificial neural network trained to generate expected electromagnetic survey instrument response to the initial model. The acquired electromagnetic survey data are compared to an output of the artificial neural network. The initial model is adjusted, and the applying the model to the artificial neural network and the comparing are repeated until differences between the output of the network and the acquired survey data fall below a selected threshold.
