Abstract

A system and a method for a look-ahead drill bit. The system may comprise an ultra-deep transmitter operable to transmit a low frequency signal into a formation, a shallow tool operable to transmit a high frequency signal into the formation, at least one ultra-deep receiver operable to record a reflected low frequency signal, and at least one pair of collocated receivers, wherein the at least one pair of collocated receivers are operable to record a reflected high frequency signal. A method may comprise transmitting a high frequency signal from the shallow tool into the formation, transmitting a low frequency signal from the ultra-deep transmitter into the formation, evaluating the reflected high frequency signal and the reflected low frequency signal on an information handling system with a look-ahead inversion, and steering the bottom hole assembly in the formation based on the subterranean formation property.
