Abstract:
A method for measuring a resistivity parameter of an earth formation is provided. The method includes: conveying a measurement current from at least one measurement electrode into the formation, the at least one measurement electrode having a potential; receiving the measurement current by at least one return electrode; and estimating a resistivity parameter from a measurement value selected from at least one of the measurement current and the potential, the resistivity parameter based on (i) an impedance calculated from the measurement value and (ii) a correction factor calculated from a plurality of measurement values related to a conductivity of a fluid in a borehole and a dielectric constant of the fluid in the borehole. A system for measuring a resistivity parameter of an earth formation is also provided.
