The resistivity log curves from a multi-electrode sonde designed to focus the surveying current radially through the rocks in a horizontal, disk-shaped pattern. This permits sharp definition of bed boundaries and improved measurement of resistivity. 2, record 1, English, - focused%2Dcurrent%20log

The first focused measurements were found on the market in 1950 under the name Laterologs. Since then, Laterologs have evolved from the first generation called Laterolog 3 (LL3) into Laterologs 7 (LL7) Laterologs 8 (LL8) and dual Laterologs (LLd). 3, record 1, English, - focused%2Dcurrent%20log

Type de diagraphie électrique souvent utilisée quand on fore avec un fluide de forage à l'eau salée. Le latérolog mesure la résistance de la formation, mais parce que le courant appliqué est centré sur une petite zone, on peut faire d'avantage de mesures sélectives. 3, record 1, French, - diagraphie%20focalis%C3%A9e%20de%20r%C3%A9sistivit%C3%A9

La nécessité pour une mesure de résistivité indépendante de la résistivité de la boue, du diamètre du sondage et de l'épaisseur des couches a été ressentie très tôt. Il a fallu cependant attendre 1950 pour avoir les premières mesures focalisées commercialisées sous le nom de Laterologs. 2, record 1, French, - diagraphie%20focalis%C3%A9e%20de%20r%C3%A9sistivit%C3%A9

Le Microlaterolog est un outil qui donne d'excellentes mesures de Rxo [résistivité de la zone lavée] lorsque la profondeur d'invasion est d'au moins 100 mm et l'épaisseur de boue inférieure à 10 mm. 4, record 2, French, - microlaterolog
