An analytical model for resistivity tools

Abstract

An analytical model for resistivity tools is developed. It takes into account the effect of the borehole and the actual shape of the electrodes. The model is two-dimensional, i.e. the model does not deal with eccentricity. The electrical potential around a current source satisfies Poisson`s equation. The method used here to solve Poisson`s equation is the expansion fo the potential function in terms of a complete set of functions involving one of the coordinates with coefficients which are undetermined functions of the other coordinate. Numerical examples of the use of the model are presented. The results are compared with results given in the literature. (au).
