    摘要: An apparatus, method and computer-readable medium for evaluating an earth formation are disclosed. The apparatus includes at least one coil on a logging tool conveyed in a borehole in the earth formation. Passage of a current through the coil induces an electrical current in the earth formation. At least two electrodes associated with the logging tool and in proximity to a wall of the borehole have a potential difference in response to the induced electrical current that is indicative of a property of the earth formation. The at least one coil may be mounted on a mandrel of a downhole assembly. The electrodes may be positioned on a first pad extendable from a mandrel of the downhole assembly.

    摘要: An apparatus for determining radial distribution of resistivity of earth formations surrounding a wellbore. The apparatus includes a sonde mandrel having an insulating exterior surface and electrodes disposed on the insulating surface at spaced apart locations. The electrodes are connected to circuits for measuring a focused current resistivity within a predetermined longitudinal span. The electrodes are also connected to circuits for measuring electrical impedance between pairs of electrodes spaced apart at a plurality of different longitudinal spacings. The preferred embodiment includes a voltage measuring circuit interconnected between a pair of electrodes which is positioned between a closest spaced pair of electrodes connected to the impedance measuring circuits, so that a vertical resolution of the impedance measurements can be limited to approximately the axial spacing of the pair of electrodes connected to the voltage measuring circuit. A method according to the invention for determining the distribution of resistivity of earth formations surrounding a wellbore includes the steps of measuring a focused current resistivity of the earth formations to determine a composite resistivity of an uninvaded zone, an invaded zone and a flushed zone. Impedance is measured between pairs of electrodes, each pair having a different longitudinal spacing, and resistivity of the flushed zone and the invaded zone are determined from the measurements of impedance. The resistivity of the uninvaded zone can then be determined from the measurement of focused current resistivity.

    摘要: A method of determining a plurality of formation models each of which will simulate the response of a well logging instrument. A measured response of the well logging instrument is used to generate an initial model using inversion processing. A response of the instrument to the initial model is synthesized. A singular value decomposition is performed on the synthetic response to generate eigenparameters of the initial model. Eigenparameters having the least significant overall contribution to the synthetic response are sequentially substituted with linear equations representing prior constraints on the initial earth model. A linear system, including the remaining ones of the eigenparameters and the linear equations is solved so that the eigenparameters are preserved exactly and the linear equations satisfy a least squares fit. An additional synthetic instrument response is generated for each solution to the linear system which falls below a predetermined error threshold. The additional instrument responses are compared with the synthesized response to the initial model. The one of the solutions to the linear system which represents an earth model providing minimum misfit with respect to equations representing the prior constraints is selected as the best fit model.
