Abstract
In one embodiment of the invention, an induction logging system is used to measure selected formation and borehole parameters of interest and simultaneously provide indications of the quality of the selected measurements. One or more transmitter-receiver pairs are employed with the transmitter components operating at one or more frequencies. The induction logging system may be a conventional system with coil axes parallel to the borehole axis or may be a transverse induction logging system including coil axes inclined to the borehole axis. A model of the response characteristics of the borehole instrument is also employed. By using a subset of the measurements, the parameters of interest are determined and an expected value of the remaining measurements is made. A comparison of the actual and expected values of the remaining measurements serves as a quality control check on the equipment and on the accuracy of the model.
