Abstract
A second receiver coil system (45a,45b) at right angles to the primary receiver coil system (40) in an induction logging tool (10) detects the skewness in the logging tool field pattern caused by the presence of assymmetrical formation structures (30). This skew signal, which provides a composite measure of the asymmetry of the formation structures (30), can be used to correct for horns produced in formation conductivity logs when the logging tool sonde (14) traverses interfaces between dipping beds. The skew signal can also be used to determine the dip and strike angles between such dipping beds.
