Abstract

The method and apparatus relies on a modified induction approach and preferably is incorporated into a metal drill collar for MWD measurements. A primary changing magnetic field is formed in a formation by a transmitting antenna which is in a groove on the surface of a drilling collar. Such drill collar also carries a plurality of detecting antennas and/or current detectors which detect the value of current induced in the formation to provide a resistivity profile immediately adjacent the borehole. An embodiment uses a hybrid modified induction and electrical approach.
