Systems and methods for performing bed boundary detection and azimuthal
resistivity logging with a single tool are disclosed. Some method
embodiments include logging a borehole with an azimuthally-sensitive
resistivity logging tool; deriving both a resistivity log and a boundary
detection signal from measurements provided by said tool; and displaying
at least one of the boundary detection signal and the resistivity log.
The resistivity log measurements may be compensated logs, i.e., logs
derived from measurements by one or more symmetric transmitter-receiver
arrangements. Though symmetric arrangements can also serve as the basis
for the boundary detection signal, a greater depth of investigation can
be obtained with an asymmetric arrangement. Hence the boundary detection
signal may be uncompensated.
