Purpose Example
‘This chart is used to environmentally correct the ARI Azimuthal Given: ARI LL, resistivity (R,) = 20 ohm-m, mud resistivity
Resistivity Imager high resolution resistivity (L1q,) curve for the (Bq) = 0.2 ofim-m, and borehole size a the zone of
effect of borehole size. interest = 10 in
Deseri Find: True resistivity ().
For a known value of resistivity ofthe borehole mud (Ry) at the zone Answer: Enter the chart atthe xxl withthe rato R/Ra,
of interest, correction forthe recorded lg azimuthal resistivity (R,) 2nyo.02 = 1000
Is determined by using this chart, The resistivity measured by the
ARI tool is equal to or higher than the corrected resistivity (Ry) for
borehole sizes of 8 to 12 in. However, the measured ARI resistivity
‘slower than R, in 6-in. boreholes and for values of Ry/ Ry, between
6 and 600.
Move vertically upward to intersect the 1(-n. line. Move
horizontally lft to read the R,/R, value on the y-axis
of 086,
Maltipiy the ratio by R, to obtain the corrected Lge
resistivity:
R, = 0.8620 = 172 ohm
