Abstract

A deep reading electromagnetic logging while drilling tool includes first and second logging while drilling subs, the first of which includes a first transmitter and a first receiver axially spaced apart from one another and the second of which includes a second transmitter and a second receiver axially spaced apart from one another. Each of the first and second transmitters and first and second receivers includes an axial antenna and collocated first and second transverse antennas. The first and second transverse antennas in the first receiver are rotationally offset by a predefined angle from the first and second transverse antennas in the first transmitter.
