Skin effect
Mutual inductance
Direct coupling
Skin effect
As current frequency
increases, the current flow
moves towards the outer
circumference (or skin) of an
electrical conductor.
Skin effect lowers the
apparent conductivity
measurement. This means
the resistivity measured by
the tool is higher than the
actual resistivity. This effect
increases with formation
conductivity.
Measured conductivity
needs to be corrected for
skin effect to create a linear
response
33
Mutual inductance
The magnetic fields
created by the individual
ground loops interact with
each other, changing the
magnitude and phase of
the received signal
34
With all the ground loops in place, we can see the contribution of each ground
loop in the received signal. This is called the Geometrical Factor, or Response
Function, and each contribution is a function of the position of the ground
loop, and the conductivity of the medium.

Borehole correction
Circular hole assumed
Array Induction can solve for 2 of
3 parameters (min. 1 parameter to
be input by engineer):
Rm
Hole size
Standoff
Invasion interpretation
The 5 resistivity curves (AIT)
are used as input to an
invasion model
Any of these models can be
used with AIT logs to deliver
Rt (as well as Rxo and
invasion profile)
We normally use the slope
(or ramp) profile, which
defines an inner and outer
invasion diameter (r1 & r2)

Good vertical resolution (down to 12) with minimal shoulder bed effect
Large depth of investigation (90/228cm), well beyond the invaded zone
Borehole effects well corrected, except in large holes with salty muds
Robust estimation of Rt, correcting for invasion effects
Ideal measurement in low resistivity formations and when Rxo > Rt
LIMITATIONS
Note: the last two points are now resolved with a tri-axial coil induction tool
that measures horizontal and vertical resistivity, and formation dip

Products:
AIT-style logs
Rvertical, Rhorizontal
Structural dip

Induction tools:
Often used in non-conductive boreholes: fresh mud systems, OBM, airfilled holes
Can work in all mud types, but less reliable in very conductive muds
