    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a method to protect a downhole generator from overvoltage. In one embodiment, the method includes determining a speed of an alternator. The method also includes activating overvoltage protection mode if the speed of the alternator is greater than a threshold speed, where activating the overvoltage protection mode includes converting an alternating current measured at the alternator into a first component and a second component of a direct current. Activating the overvoltage protection mode also includes determining a first current threshold based on at least one component of the downhole generator. Activating the overvoltage protection mode also includes shutting down the downhole generator if the first component of the direct current is greater than the first current threshold and decreasing a magnetic flux of the downhole generator if the first component of the direct current is not greater than the first current threshold.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to oil and gas exploration and production, and more particularly to systems and methods for evaluating sand-resistivity and/or sand-conductivity, as well as saturation in laminated shale-sand formations with biaxial anisotropy. Shale is one of the more important common constituents of rocks in log analysis. Aside from their effects on porosity and permeability, their importance stems from their electrical properties, which have a great influence on the determination of fluid saturations. Shale can exist in the form of laminae between which are layers of sand. Laminae are small scale sequence of fine layers that occurs in sedimentary rocks.
