    Abstract: Techniques for log squaring using both directional and non-directional electromagnetic measurements are disclosed. The techniques described herein can be used for determining bed boundary locations and assigning resistivity values to each layer in a layered earth model, regardless of well deviation. Potential bed boundary locations can be derived from both directional and non-directional electromagnetic measurement data. The bed boundary locations from the directional and non-directional measurements can then be consolidated using a weighted averaging scheme, where weight can be dependent based on apparent formation dip. By combining the results from both directional and non-directional measurements, the log squaring techniques described herein can be used in most wells regardless of the well angle (the angle can be arbitrary). Once bed boundaries are selected, formation properties, such as horizontal resistivity (Rh) and vertical resistivity (Rv) can be assigned to the model layers.

    Abstract: A multi-step electromagnetic inversion method is provided for determining formation resistivity, anisotropy and dip. An electromagnetic logging tool is used to obtain non-directional, anisotropy, and directional (including symmetrized and anti-symmetrized resistivity measurements) in a formation using an electromagnetic logging tool. Bed boundaries of the formation are first identified. A horizontal resistivity profile is obtained using the non-directional resistivity measurements, and a vertical resistivity profile is obtained using the anisotropy resistivity measurements. The vertical resistivity profile is improved using the directional resistivity measurements, while dip values are also obtained via an inversion using the directional resistivity measurements. Then, an inversion for each of vertical resistivity, horizontal resistivity, dip values, and bed boundaries is performed using all of the non-directional, anisotropy, and directional resistivity measurements to obtain a formation model.

    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 making electromagnetic directional resistivity measurements includes rotating an electromagnetic logging tool in a subterranean wellbore penetrating the formation. The logging tool includes a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna spaced along a tool body with at least one of the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna being a tiltted antenna. The electromagnectic logging tool is used to make a plurality of electromagnetic measurements at a corresponding plurality of frequencies while rotating in the wellbore. The plurality of measurements made at the corresponding plurality of frequencies is processed to compute a combined apparent resistivity of the subterranean formation. The processing includes minimizing a difference between a plurality of modeled measurements and the plurality of wellbore measurements in which the modeled measurements are computed using a model assuming a homogenous formation.
