An abbreviation for medium induction, the intermediate-depth induction resistivity curve recorded by a dual induction tool. It is combined with the deep induction curve, ID, and a shallow device such as a spherically focused log to correct for the effect of drilling fluid invasion and estimate true formation resistivity. The three curves read progressively deeper into the formation, from the invaded zone toward the undisturbed rock.
