a method and a device for determining a formationswiderstandes, through which a borehole is verrohrtes

摘要

The invention relates to a method of surveying the resistivity of a geological formation through which a borehole provided with metal casing passes, in which method a leakage current is caused to leak into the formation outside the casing, and the leakage current is determined on a casing section at a certain level, the leakage current being indicative of the resistivity of the formation. According to a characteristic of the invention, the resistivity is determined on the basis of the leakage current by applying a factor that depends on the distance z between the level and the surface.
