Abstract

A method for determining the anisotropic resistivity properties of a subterranean formation traversed by a borehole utilizing a multi-component induction logging tool. The method utilizes the measured phase and attenuation signals induced by eddy currents in the formation to determine the azimuthal angle and to create a second set of signals based on the measured signals and the azimuthal angle. The anisotropic resistive properties, as well as the dip angle, are then simultaneously derived from the second set of signals by means of minimizing error functions within an inversion model.
