Array laterolog

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000183

A resistivity logging tool that employs multiple current electrodes and guard electrodes to focus the measurement current into the formation, providing deep and shallow resistivity readings with high vertical resolution. This design minimizes the effects of the borehole and invaded zone, offering a more accurate measurement of true formation resistivity. It is particularly effective in conductive muds.
