Abstract
The invention relates to a logging method and apparatus for determining the electrical resistivity of an earth formation traversed by a borehole. The resistivity is determined using a measuring pad which has a central electrode operable to deliver a measuring current. The measuring current is focused radially by means of two focusing systems: an active focusing system which focuses the measuring current in a first direction; and a passive focusing system which focuses the measuring current in a second direction perpendicular to said first direction.
