Abstract: Methods are disclosed herein that relate to determining a formation type within a wellbore. The wellbore may be formed (e.g., drilled) such that the wellbore intersects fractures within a formation. An induction tool may then be disposed downhole into the wellbore for taking measurements of the formation surrounding the wellbore. These measurements may include a resistivity of the formation based upon horizontal resistivity measurement, a vertical resistivity measurement, and/or an anisotropy measurement. Using any one or all of these measurements then, one may determine a formation type of the formation measured with the induction tool.
