Bed thickness, h (ft)

© Schlumberger

This chart provides an empirical correction to the SP for the
effects of invasion and bed thickness obtained by averaging
a series of thin-bed corrections in Reference 37. This chart
considers only h, bed thickness, as variable, and R i /R m and d i as
parameters of fixed value. Hole diameter is set at 8 in.
Enter the chart with bed thickness, h; go to the appropriate
invasion diameter, d i, and invaded zone resistivity/mud resis-
tivity ratio, R i / R m. The recorded SP measurement is then
corrected by the resulting correction factor.
