FEATURES BENEFITS
Deepest depth of investigation is More accuracy and confidence in determining the true
up to 120 inches resistivity of the uninvaded formation.
Multiple More reliable true formation resistivity(Rt) and
depths of investigation flushed zone resistivity(Rxo).
Multiple vertical resolutions More reliable log analysis in thinly-beded reservoirs.
Multiple measurements at different Permit measurements to be corrected for much of the
vertical resolutions and depths of borehole sensitivity and essentially eliminate the
investigation. artifacts caused.
Provides more accurate resistivity data where apparent

Provides clues about permeability and lateral
hetergeneities.
