Abstract
A method for correcting subterranean resistivity measurements to account for tool bending includes processing at least one coupling component and at least one cross-coupling component in combination with a tool bending angle. Such processing may, for example, remove one or more coupling components from a cross-coupling component. Removal of the coupling component(s) tends to increase the sensitivity of directional resistivity measurements to remote boundaries.
