ABSTRACT:
A method of determining the conductivity of earth formations penetrated by a wellbore. The method includes inserting an induction well logging instrument into the wellbore. The instrument includes a transmitter, a source of alternating current connected to the transmitter, and a receiver. The transmitter is energized with the alternating current, voltages induced in the receiver are recorded, and area enclosed with respect to a baseline, by voltage peaks present in the recorded voltages is determined. The enclosed area corresponds to the conductivity.
