However, the simulation of array induction logging response in horizontal wells usually adopts a three-dimensional processing method, which has low calculation accuracy and slow speed. At the same time, it is seriously affected by multiple factors such as instrument tilt and mud filtrate invasion in horizontal wells, and cannot accurately reflect the true formation conditions. At present, there are few methods for accurately extracting resistivity of horizontal wells.
