Abstract

A coil array for high resolution induction logging comprises a transmitter, a first receiver set and a second receiver set. The second receiver set includes at least one portion of the first receiver set. A method for deriving an apparent conductivity log from at least one induction well log that comprises a plurality of depth samples, comprises raising each depth sample to several predetermined powers, convolving in depth the powers of conductivity, and summing the convolutions to produce a conductivity log. An apparatus for measuring the resistivity of an earth formation, comprises a transmitter energized by a time-varying, periodic voltage, a set of receivers generating a receiver voltage, an analog-to-digital converter that outputs a digitized voltage signal, and a processor that receives the digitized voltage signal.
