Induction Log Correction for Thin Conductive Beds

6FF40, ID, 6FF28
Schlumberger
Rcor-7
6-11
Charts Rcor-5, Rcor-6 and Rcor-7 correct the induction logs
(6FF40, ID, 6FF28 and IM) for bed thickness. A skin-effect
correction is included in these charts.
To use, select the chart appropriate for the tool type and for
the adjacent bed resistivity (RS). For Charts Rcor-5 and Rcor-6,
enter the bed thickness and proceed upward to the proper Ra
curve. Read the corrected resistivity value (Rt) in ordinate.
For Chart Rcor-7, enter the chart with the RID/RS ratio
(apparent ID reading/adjacent bed resistivity) and go upward
to the bed thickness. Read the correction factor (RIDcor/RID)
in ordinate.
Example: RID = 4.2 ohm-m
RIM = 6.0 ohm-m
RS = 2.0 ohm-m
Bed thickness = 3 m
giving, from the RS = 2 ohm-m charts,
RIDcor = 4.5 ohm-m
RIMcor = 6.2 ohm-m
For the small-diameter 6FF28, multiply the bed thickness by
1.43 before entering these correction charts. For example, in a
7-ft bed, the bed thickness used in correcting the 6FF28 reading
is 10 ft (7 1.43 = 10).
