A bstract The paper relates primarily to the borehole and the side bed correction charts for Latero‐logs 3 and 7. Versions of some of these charts published by different companies—or even by the same company in different years—exhibit significant variations. Usually, such publications do not contain adequate information on how the charts were constructed and do not explain why discrepancies occur. Because of these reasons, an attempt has been made in this paper to reconstruct the borehole correction chart for Laterolog 7 and the shoulder bed correction charts for Latero‐logs 3 and 7. For the latter two, the results found differ substantially from those published earlier. The paper demonstrates how departure (response) curves and correction charts for the lateral and the Laterolog 7 sondes can be computed from those for the normal sonde. An apparent resistivity formula is suggested for Laterolog 7 in which all currents that exist in the ground at the time of measurement and that produce the signal are monitored and used. Response curves and correction charts for Laterolog 7, based on such a formula, are presented as illustrations.
