Abstract
Systems and methods for determining annular fill material using resistivity measurements are provided. In one example, a method is provided. The method may include placing a downhole tool into a cased well. The well may include an annulus located between a casing and a formation. The method may also include determining, by the downhole tool, resistivity measurements associated with portions of the well. Furthermore, the method may include identifying, by a computer, based at least in part on the resistivity measurements, the presence of annular fill materials in the well. Additionally, the method may include determining, by the computer based at least in part on the resistivity measurements, respective locations of the annular fill materials in the well.
