Abstract

A method for determining structural dip of subsurface formations includes accepting as input multiaxial induction measurements made by passing electric current through a multiaxial transmitter disposed in a wellbore drilled through subsurface rock formations. Voltages induced in a multiaxial receiver disposed at a longitudinally spaced apart location along the wellbore are detected while moving the transmitter and receiver along the wellbore. The multiaxial voltage measurements are inverted into values of formation dip magnitude and formation dip azimuth. A parameter related to shale content of the rock formations is measured, and structural dip of the rock formations is determined by selecting dip magnitude and dip azimuth values occurring when the parameter exceeds a selected threshold.
