RG Microresistivity Probe

Microresistivity Probe

The microresistivity probe provides a pad resistivity measurement with high vertical resolution combined with a caliper and natural gamma.

PRINCIPLE OF MEASUREMENT
The resistivity measurement is based on the guard method where a ring electrode maintained at the same potential as the central measurement electrode focuses the measure current into a narrow beam. The electrodes are contained within a flexible pad mounted on a motor-driven arm and maintained in contact with the borehole wall during logging by spring pressure. The same arm also operates the caliper mechanism.

A natural-gamma measurement is included to aid correlation with other logs.
