Abstract
Systems and methods for smoothing a resistivity log are disclosed. An azimuthal resistivity tool measures azimuthal impedances at multiple azimuthal angles around a wellbore axis at each depth. It is determined whether the drill string was in a drilling mode or a sliding mode at the depth. If the drill string was in the drilling mode, a co-axial component and a lateral component are determined based in part on the azimuthal impedances associated with the depth and the lateral component is stored. If the drill string was in the sliding mode, a second co-axial component is determined based in part on at least one of the plurality of azimuthal impedances and a previously stored lateral component. The resistivity log is plotted from resistivities determined from the first and second co-axial components at each depth.
