Abstract

Because difference of formation model affects the potential distribution on the metal casing, the resistivity logging response can be obtained through casing by measuring the potentials on the metal casing. In fact, the logging responses are the comprehension effects of complex formation and metal casing, so that in the coefficients of transmission line equation, we should consider the effects of formation model in radial-direction. In the following, for the formation taking on six-layer in axial-direction, and step in radial-direction, the resistivity logging responses through casing are researched and discussed, and given the recurrence formula to compute potential. Draw the curve of the resistivity logging response through casing of six-layer formations. The conductivity of formation is computed is very approximating to that of formation model. The computing examples also show that this method has a fast computing speed (the run time of computing example is less than 1s). For analysis the logging response of six-layers and block formations, and the design of logging instruments, the research is important significance and useful.
