    摘要: A method and apparatus for downhole resistivity imaging uses an antenna coupled to a power source through a directional coupler. Measured reflectivity values are indicative of the antenna impedance and the formation resistivity, particularly if some compensation is made for the antenna inductance.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for obtaining a resistivity measurement of an earth formation surrounding a borehole in an MWD device uses the drillbit and the adjacent portion of the drill collar as a focusing electrode for focusing the measure current from a measure electrode on the face or side of the drillbit. This provides the ability to see ahead of and azimuthally around the drillbit.

    摘要: An embodiment of a method of performing aspects of a downhole operation includes receiving a measurement value from a first sensor configured to measure a parameter related to the downhole operation, receiving measurement data from a different sensor, the measurement data related to the downhole operation, and performing, by a sensor evaluation module, an evaluation of the first sensor. The evaluation includes determining a condition of the first sensor based on the measurement data from the different sensor, selecting a rule that prescribes a set of one or more measurement values of the parameter that are plausible if the condition is met, and determining whether the measurement value from the first sensor is plausible based on comparing the measurement value to the prescribed set of one or more measurement values.
