Three-dimensional inversion of inductions logs in real-time

In petroleum production and exploration, having good information about a hydrocarbon reservoir is paramount to successful exploitation. A popular tool is to probe the electric conductivity in a well to obtain direct information of the well surrounding. As wells are nowadays mostly horizontally drilled, this information is becoming more important...

An approximate 3D computational method for real-time computation of induction logging responses

Over many years, induction logging systems have been used to create well formation logs. The major drawback for the utilization of these tools is the long simulation time for a single forward computation. We proposed an efficient computational method based on a contrast-type of integral-equation formulation, in which we applied an approximation...
