Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for evaluating an earth formation. Methods include conveying a tool on a carrier in a borehole, the tool comprising a conducting tubular having a transmitter and receivers disposed thereon in a spaced-apart relationship; inducing a current in the earth formation using the transmitter; measuring with the first receiver a first time-dependent transient electromagnetic (TEM) signal induced by the formation responsive to the current; measuring with a second receiver a second time-dependent TEM signal induced by the formation responsive to the current; and using at least one processor to estimate a corrected time-dependent TEM signal using the first time-dependent TEM signal, the second time-dependent TEM signal, and a correction coefficient estimated as a function of a non-exponentiated ratio of distances rand rbetween the transmitter and the respective receivers.
