Abstract

In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis for the full response of a triaxial induction logging tool in a homogeneous biaxial anisotropic formation. The triaxial tool comprises three mutually orthogonal transmitters and three mutually orthogonal receivers. The transducer axes of the tool can be arbitrarily oriented with respect to the principal axes of the conductivity tensor of the biaxial anisotropic medium. Effects of logging responses on various tool and formation parameters are investigated using the developed method.
