Use of antennae standing wave coefficient measurements for determining an anisotropic medium over hydrocarbons

Abstract

The paper presents a study of the standing wave coefficient of antennas for detecting an anisotropic medium over hydrocarbons. Experimental studies were carried out on real hydrocarbon fields. The results of conducted tests confirmed the increase in accuracy of hydrocarbon deposit boundaries determination on the basis of antennae standing wave ratio measurements by 20 - 30 %. The obtained results can be used in prospecting geophysics for increasing the accuracy of determining boundaries of deposits by measuring antennae standing waves ratio in a wide range of frequencies and for increasing resolving power of deposit positioning by measuring standing waves ratio of two or more antennas.
