    摘要: A method for imaging an earth formation includes estimating an apparent resistivity (AR) value and an apparent distance to a bedding plane (AD2B) value for each of a plurality of samples derived from measurements of a time-dependent transient electromagnetic signal, estimating an inversion-based resistivity value (IB-R) and an inversion-based distance to a bedding plane (IB-D2B) value at a first sample of each consecutive depth interval, wherein each depth interval includes a plurality of consecutive samples, and determining a difference between apparent values and the corresponding inversion-based values. The method further includes generating an image of the earth formation using the AR and AD2B values for the entire interval if the difference is less than a threshold value and generating an image of the earth formation using IB-R and IB-D2B values for the entire interval if the difference is greater than the threshold value.

    摘要: A system and method to determine a dip angle and an azimuth angle of a formation are described. The system includes a transmitter disposed in a borehole to change a transmitted current to induce a current in an earth formation, and a receiver disposed in the borehole, spaced apart from the transmitter, to receive transient electromagnetic signals. The system also includes a processor to extract multi-time focusing (MTF) responses from the transient electromagnetic signals, determine a relative dip angle and a rotation of a tool comprising the transmitter and receiver based on the MTF responses, and estimate the dip angle and the azimuth angle of the formation based on the relative dip angle and the rotation of the tool.

    摘要: A system and method to compress transient signals are described. The system includes a transmitter disposed in a borehole to change a transmitted current and induce a current in an earth formation, and a receiver disposed in the borehole to receive the transient signals resulting from the transmitted current. The system also includes a processor to compress the transient signals, the processor compressing the transient signals based on a spline approximation method or an Eigen value method for each transient signal based on whether the spline approximation method or the Eigen value method results in a fewer number of parameters representing the transient signal.
