What is it about?
When wells are drilled to find oil and gas, special borehole instruments are used to measure the electrical properties of the rocks around the well. These properties can tell us how much water and hydrocarbons are in the rocks. However, sometimes the rocks have different electrical properties in different directions. Also, the drilling fluid can invade the rocks and change their electrical properties. These factors can make the interpretation of the measurements very challenging. We introduce different methods to address these problems.
