ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention is directed to induction logging apparatus and method for obtaining measurements dependent upon the vertical conductivity component of formations surrounding a borehole. The disclosed techniques can also be used to determine horizontal as well as vertical conductivity of the formations, and thereby achieve determination of formation anisotropy. A transmitter coil is provided with its axis substantially perpendicular to the borehole axis. A receiver coil is provided in spaced relation to the transmitter coil. The axis of the receiver coil is also substantially per- pendicular to the borehole axis, and is preferably parallel to the axis of the transmitter coil. Signals induced in the receiver coil are detected, these signals being a measure of the formation vertical conductivity. Both the resistive and reactive components of the signals induced in the receiver coils are detected. Indications of formation vertical conductivity are obtained by combining the detected resistive and reactive components. In a further form of the invention, the formation horizontal conductivity can also be obtained from the detected resistive and reactive components. Alternative- ly, horizontal conductivity may be determined using spaced coils having a common axis aligned with the borehole axis.
