Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for geosteering in directional drilling based on water detection. An exemplary method includes determining a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for an electromagnetic communication between devices on a bottom hole assembly, and determining a distance to water based, at least in part, on the SNR. Adjustments to geosteering vectors for the bottom hole assembly are determined based, at least in part, on the distance to water.
