ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the geophysical examination of wells and can be used for determining the electrical resistivity of rock beds surrounding a well cased in a metal column. The inventive method consists in using a sonde embodied in the form of two current electrodes located on the opposite sides with respect of at least the measuring electrodes, in alternately supplying electric current, in measuring, by means of a measuring devices, during each current supply, a supplied current, a potential on a central measuring electrode and the potential difference between the outer measuring electrodes and the central electrode, in using the specific electrical resistivity of the rock beds surrounding the cased well in the form of the electrical parameter of the electrical logging of the cased wells, in forming a measuring circuit according to the resistivity pattern of the layers of the rock beds surrounding the well and of those sections of a casing string which are provided with the collars, wherein the sonde, whose measuring electrodes are spaced without respecting equidistance requirements and current electrodes are embodied in such a way that they can be used in the form of measuring electrodes is applied. In addition, the inventive method also consists in measuring the potential difference of an electric field between the current electrode, to which the current is not supplied at the present switching, and the central measuring electrode, by means of additional measuring devices, and in determining a specific electrical resistivity according to a formula referred thereto.
