RESISTIVITY LOG CORRECTION METHOD

A method of determining electric resistivity of an earth formation (1) surrounding a wellbore filled with a wellbore fluid, is provided, which method comprises: operating a resistivity logging tool (2) in the wellbore so as to provide a plurality of resistivity logs (FLG1, . . . , n) (3) of the earth formation (1) for different radial intervals (1, . . . , n) relative to the wellbore; for each radial interval (k), selecting a modelled resistivity profile (Rmodk) (4); inputting the modelled resistivity profiles (Rmod1, . . . , n) (4) to a logging tool simulator (6) so as to provide for each radial interval (k) a modelled resistivity log (MLGk) (7) having a depth of investigation corresponding to the radial interval (k); for each radial interval (k) updating the modelled resistivity profile (Rmodk) (7) in dependence of an observed deviation of the resistivity log (FLGk) (3) from the modelled resistivity log (MLGk) (7); and repeating steps c)-d) until for each radial interval (k) the difference between the resistivity log (FLGk) (3) and the corresponding modelled resistivity log (MLGk) (7) is below a selected threshold value (8).
