Abstract: A calibration method includes determining calibration standards for a reference tool including a reference transmitter and a reference receiver. First and second calibration factors are measured to match a receiver on an electromagnetic measurement tool (the tool to be calibrated) to the reference receiver and to match a transmitter on the electromagnetic measurement tool to the reference transmitter. The electromagnetic measurement tool is deployed in a subterranean wellbore and used to make electromagnetic measurements therein. The measured first and second calibration factors and at least one of the calibration standards are applied to at least one of the electromagnetic measurements to compute a gain calibrated electromagnetic measurement.
