Numerical simulation study on coal seam response characteristics of shallow three-electrode laterolog by Xinghua Qi, Xinghua Qi, Shimao Wang, Yuxuan Wei, Zhuwen Wang

“…There is a power function relationship between the determination coefficient of coal seam boundary and the ratio of coal seam-surrounding rock resistivity ratio. An increase in the dip angle of the coal seam leads to an increase in the apparent thickness of the coal seam following a quadratic function relationship, while an increase in the wellbore radius results in a quadratic function decrease in the apparent resistivity of the coal seam. …”
