ABSTRACT
To facilitate the interpretation of geophysical electrical well logging data, the apparent resistivity has been calculated in a model in which the experimental situation is approximated by three coaxial cylindrical zones containing the drilling mud, flushed rock, and surrounding rock matrix, respectively. This three-zone model is shown to yield results that differ by as much as 25 percent from the earlier two-zone model calculations.
