    Abstract: At least some disclosed resistivity logging system embodiments include a logging tool and a processing system. The logging tool provides multi-component transmitter-receiver coupling measurements to the processing system. The processing system derives from the measurements initial formation parameter estimates based on a first formation model such as a radially-symmetric formation model having anisotropic, but otherwise homogenous dipping formation. The processing system further derives in one or more selected regions a second set of formation parameter estimates based on a second formation model such as a model having a dipping borehole through a series of horizontal formation layers, each having a vertical transverse isotropy. The processing system produces an output set of formation parameter estimates which, in the selected regions, depend on the second set of formation parameter estimates, and in at least some regions outside the selected regions, solely depend on the initial formation parameter estimates.

    Abstract: An estimated value for invasion depth of an invasion zone in a subsurface measurement zone is calculated in a one-dimensional optimization procedure based on multi-array laterolog measurement data. A one-dimensional optimization problem is defined as having the invasion depth as a sole variable measurement zone parameter. The one-dimensional optimization problem is then solved by automated, iterative modification of the invasion depth value. The one-dimensional optimization problem can be a function to minimize a misfit error between (a) multi-array measurement values for resistivity of the subsurface measurement zone, and (b) predicted measurement values calculated in accordance with a simulated measurement zone model based at least in part on the invasion depth. In one embodiment, the optimization function defines a misfit error between (1) normalized differences between respective measurements of neighboring measurement arrays of the multi-array laterolog tool, and (2) normalized differences between respective predicted measurement values for neighboring measurement arrays.

    Abstract: A system and method of correcting induction logging data for relative dip, wherein an induction logging tool is utilized to collect initial induction logging data at a plurality of frequencies. The initial induction logging data is then corrected for skin effect and borehole effect, after which, inversion is performed on the processed induction logging data to determine a dip effect correction. The dip effect correction is then applied to the initial induction logging data in order to yield induction logging data that is dip corrected to reflect a zero relative dip. Once dip corrected, the induction logging data can be used with resistivity methodologies generally designed for instances where no dip is present in the formation under analysis. In certain embodiments, the inversion step utilizes an additive correction for the dip effect correction.

    Abstract: Evaluation of formation and fracture characteristics based on multicomponent induction (MCI) log data includes automated calculation of inverted biaxial anisotropy (BA) parameters for the formation by performing an iterative BA inversion operation based on the MCI log data and using a BA formation model that accounts for transfers by axial formation anisotropy to resistivity. The BA inversion operation can be combined with a transversely anisotropic (TI) inversion based on the MCI log data and using a TI formation model, to calculate inverted TI parameters for the formation. The inverted BA parameters and the inverted TI parameters can be used, in combination, to calculate a quantified value for an identification function, to indicate estimated presence or absence of a fracture in the formation
