Abstract
Measurements made with a multicomponent logging instrument when used in a substantially horizontal borehole in earth formations provide diagnostic of the direction of beds relative to the position of the borehole. When the logging instrument is conveyed on a drilling assembly, the drilling trajectory may be maintained to follow a predetermined trajectory or to maintain a desired distance from a boundary such as an oil-water contact.
