ABSTRACT:
A unique means in interpreting anisotropic reservoirs in thinly laminated earth formations regardless of the hole deviation is provided. A high-resolution micro-resistivity formation measurement is used to estimate in real time at the well site the formation anisotropic electrical parameters oriented around the borehole drilled with a conductive fluid. Estimations of the formation anisotropy or hydrocarbon profile are compared and combined with indicators associated with the formation to provide improved evaluations of hydrocarbon content over conventional methods.
