Abstract
The disclosure describes enhanced determination of dip and strike/azimuth for real-time MCI data processing in some difficult conditions such as low-dip and low-anisotropy formations using formation properties from surrounding layers. The method is effective for the enhanced determination of dip and azimuth to enhance the inversion accuracy of formation dip and azimuth if the formation anisotropic ratio is low and so reduce the uncertainty of the inverted dip and azimuth.
