Abstract
The linear boundary element method for electromagnetic fields is taken to deal with the excitation of a non-symmetrical electric dipole in a lossy half space. A simple and practical algorithm is offered to the Measurement While Drilling with Electromagnetic waves (EM-MWD). The calculation for two models under the low frequency limits are compared with the experiments and the results calculated with the theory of stationary current fields.
