Modeling Borehole Resistivity Logs with Exponentially Graded Multilayered Soil Inversion for Electrical Engineering Applications
Source abstract
Abstract
In this paper, we present the application of a special soil resistivity model, the Exponentially Graded Multilayered Soil model, to the interpretation of Borehole Resistivity Logging surveys. The model, which was recently introduced by the authors, offers an alternative to the interpretation provided by constant resistivity layer models. The model is applied to synthetic soil surveys as well as to a real survey that is not satisfactorily interpreted using conventional models. This model aids in the design and calculation of grounding systems in electrical engineering, providing an alternative to calculations performed by traditional layered models.
