Abstract

An electromagnetic telemetry system can be used for determining a resistivity of a portion of a wellbore drilled through a subterranean formation. For example, the electromagnetic telemetry system can include a computing device and a downhole transceiver positioned on a well tool in the wellbore. The computing device can receive, from the downhole transceiver, a signal indicating a load impedance across an electrically insulating segment of the downhole transceiver. The computing device can determine a resistivity associated with a portion of the wellbore based on the load impedance. The computing device can determine a corrected resistivity by modifying the resistivity associated with the portion of the wellbore using a correction factor.
