    Abstract: Identifying the dielectric constant and/or the electrical resistivity of part of a geological formation may reveal useful characteristics of the geological formation. This disclosure provides methods, systems, and machine-readable media to determine dielectric constant or electrical resistivity, or both, using contraction mapping. Specifically, contraction mapping may be used with a function of wavenumber k to iteratively solve for values of dielectric constant and electrical resistivity until convergence is achieved. This may allow for convergence to a solution without computing partial derivatives and/or with fewer iterations than previous techniques.

    Abstract: A method for determining resistivity of subsurface formations includes generating an initial model of the formations from multiaxial electromagnetic transimpedance measurements, the model comprising values of vertical resistivity, horizontal resistivity, crossbed dip, crossbed azimuth, and bedding dip and azimuth. Expected measurements generated from the initial model measurements are decomposed into ordinary and extraordinary components. The actual tool measurements are compared to the summation of the expected decomposed measurement components. The initial model is adjusted, the expected decomposed components are recalculated and the foregoing are repeated until the difference between the actual tool measurements and the summation of the expected decomposed components falls below a selected threshold.

    Abstract: The highly valuable properties of resistivity and dielectric constant of a geological formation may be determined using an induction measurement, even for a geological formation with bed boundary or dipping effects, using a one-dimensional (1D) formation model. Induction measurements may be obtained in a wellbore through the geological formation using one or more downhole tools. One or more processors may be used to perform an inversion to estimate resistivity and dielectric constant values of the geological formation. The inversion may be performed using the induction measurements and a one-dimensional model that includes a number of geological layers.

    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.

    Abstract: A method to determine at least one formation property of a subterranean formation includes providing a downhole electromagnetic logging tool having at least one transmitter array and one receiver array and acquiring measurements in the formation using the transmitter and receiver arrays of the downhole electromagnetic logging tool. The method further includes performing a first inversion in response to the measurements, wherein at least one of dip or dip azimuth are assumed constant in an inversion zone within the formation to obtain an inverted formation model that comprises at least one of horizontal resistivity (Rh), vertical resistivity (Rv), dip, and dip azimuth. The method includes determining an n-th order partial derivative matrix of at least one of dip or dip azimuth, wherein n is greater than or equal to 1. The method includes performing a second inversion using the determined n-th order partial derivative matrix, wherein at least one of dip and dip azimuth are allowed to vary in the inversion zone, to obtain an updated formation model. The method includes determining the at least one formation property of the formation using the up-dated formation model.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for characterizing connate water salinity and resistivity of a subsurface formation. Well log data including resistivity and spontaneous potential (SP) log data are measured by at least one downhole tool disposed within a borehole. The resistivity and SP log data are inverted to determine a resistivity model and an SP model, which are used to determine connate water resistivity. The connate water resistivity is used to determine connate water salinity. The connate water salinity derived from the inversion of resistivity log data and SP log data (or derived from a trained ML system supplied with such log data) can be used as a baseline measure of connate water salinity, and this baseline measure can be evaluated together with the connate water salinity estimates derived from pulsed neutron tool measurements over time-lapsed periods of production to monitor variation in connate water salinity due to production.
