Abstract

The new 3D induction resistivity tool is used to provide 3D information about the formation from the wellbore and to determine the formation dip magnitude without making any contact with the wellbore. This tool can improve the resistivity measurements in deviated well and in dipping beds. The 3D triaxial induction measurement tool can help petrophysicists to evaluate the nature of reservoirs. The advanced computational-processing ability is integrated with the 3-D tool to improve the induction logging capability. Some of the significant application of triaxial induction tools are resistivity measurement in dipping formations, identification and quantification of laminated pay intervals, and structural dip measurement. Rt scanner tool are used to measure dip-corrected resistivity, laminated-reservoir properties, and induction-derived dipmeter data.
