Abstract

A method and / or system comprising: disposing a bottom hole assembly into a wellbore, wherein the bottom hole assembly comprises: a transmitter sub comprising a transmitter coil; a first receiver sub comprising a first receiver coil; transmitting an electromagnetic wave into a subterranean formation with the transmitter coil; receiving a plurality of response signals with the first receiver coil, wherein the plurality of response signals are from two or more depths and are formed from the electromagnetic wave interacting with the subterranean formation. Additionally, the method and / or system may be configured to analyze a gradient of the response signals to determine if the gradient exceeds a threshold, wherein the threshold indicates a presence of a fracture or fault.
