Abstract

Apparatus and techniques are described, such as for obtaining information indicative of a formation resistivity, such as using an array laterolog apparatus. For example, an electrical excitation is coupled from a well tool in a borehole to a geologic formation through which the borehole extends, the excitation coupled through excitation electrodes on the well tool selected according to a specified excitation mode, and induced voltages are received from the geologic formation resulting from the excitation using monitor electrodes selected according to the specified excitation mode. In some examples, a voltage difference between a first pair of monitor electrodes is estimated through use of the induced voltage received through at least one additional monitor electrode.
