  • Publication number: 20210277773
    Abstract: Raw signal measurements can be received by sensors in a wellbore. Borehole effects can affect the raw signal measurements. The raw signal measurements can be converted into ratio signals having attenuation and phase shift. An apparent resistivity can be determined from the ratio signals. Mud resistivity can be determined based on apparent resistivity, at least part of the raw signal measurements, and the borehole size. A true resistivity can be determined based on the mud resistivity and at least part of the ratio signals. The raw signal measurements and the ratio signals can be updated based on the true resistivity. Steps can be repeated to determine a corrected true resistivity. Based on the true resistivity value and updated raw signal measurements and ratio signals, an operating characteristic of a well tool can be caused to be adjusted.

  • Patent number: 11035976
    Abstract: Numerical and/or semi-analytical methods are leveraged to decouple a complete set of nonzero electromagnetic field tensor components (118) from detected signal data (119). Nine nonzero components can serve as inputs for a three-dimensional inversion process to determine formation properties. A resistivity tool (100) containing at least one transmitter (111) and at least one receiver (108, 109) at tilted angles receives an electromagnetic signal throughout a rotation. A difference in the azimuthal positions of the transmitter(s) and receiver(s) during rotation of the resistivity tool can result in an azimuthal offset between resistivity tool subs. The components (118) are decoupled from the detected signal data (119) numerically or semi-analytically according to whether the azimuthal offset angle is known. If the azimuthal offset angle is known, the nine components are determined numerically through curve fitting.
