Abstract:
An electromagnetic induction tool and method. The electromagnetic induction tool may comprise a tool body, a gap sub may separate different sections of the tool body and may be positioned to at least partially hinder the flow of an axial current and an azimuthal current on the tool body. A coil antenna may be disposed over the gap sub. A method of increasing an electromagnetic field may comprise providing an electromagnetic induction tool. The electromagnetic induction tool may comprise a tool body, a gap sub may separate different sections of the tool body and may be positioned to at least partially hinder flow of an axial current and an azimuthal current on the tool body. A coil antenna may be disposed over the gap sub. The method may further comprise placing the electromagnetic induction tool into a wellbore and operating the coil antenna.
