Laterologs
A more recent addition to the laterolog tool family is the array laterolog
device. This tool adds measurements at graduated radial depths of investigation
(up to four) and improves vertical resolution to approximately one foot.

When To Use a Laterolog
Laterologs should be used when the following conditions exist:
Principle of Measurement
Note:- The laterolog will produce better results than the induction
log when Rt exceeds 150 ohm-m. It will also give a better estimate of Rt
than the induction log when bed thickness is less than 10 ft.

Q. 20.1:- What are the differences between LL7, LL3 and SFL Tools
regarding to:
1. Design of Tool.
2. Field of Applications.
Q.20.2: In which types of drilling muds can Laterolog tools be run?
DLL Tool
104
The principal of operation of laterolog tools may be illustrated by
reference to the simultaneous DLL. Fig. 20.3 is an illustration of the tool with
its associated measurement electrodes.
As shown in Fig. 20.3, the Rxo measuring portion of this tool is a pad-type
device. Once the tool is at the bottom of the well, arms with contact pads are
extended to fit against the sides of the borehole. The mechanics of making both
deep and shallow laterolog measurements with a single set of electrodes are
handled by circuitry inside the tool. The respective current paths for the LL d and
LLs devices are shown in Fig. 20.4.
