Abstract
Measurements made by multiarray and multicomponent induction resistivity measurements in a borehole are used for determining the orientation and length of fractures in an earth formation when the fractures have a fluid with a resistivity different from that of the earth formation. The apparatus and method may also be used in anisotropic earth formations where the vertical and horizontal resistivities are different.
