Basic Principles of Induction Logging

This reference provides geoscientists with the information required to survey the electrical conductivity of rocks surrounding a borehole. The formation conductivity distribution in the borehole vicinity is critical information required in formation evaluation and geosteering applications. The emphasis in this book is on developing a theory of EM logging and on understanding basic physics for both wireline and LWD logging tools. This theory and understanding of tool physics furnish valuable insights for development and use of EM techniques in practical logging applications. Electromagnetic Methods in Borehole Geophysics will be vital for anyone attempting to investigate, invent and develop next generation of EM logging tools. It will provide information required to enable  operation in more challenging environments such as logging while drilling, anisotropic and thinly laminated formations, high angle and horizontal wells, etc. Provides a step-by-step approach to the theory of electromagnetic methods in borehole applications starting from the simplest modelsAuthored by two leading experts in the field, Alex A. Kaufman and Michael B RabinovichPresents theory on the subject that has been previously hard to find, making this a must have reference for anyone working in the fieldDelivers a much needed update on the latest analysis methods, modelling techniques, drilling environments, and probe configurations
