  • Adaptive borehole assembly visualization in a three-dimensional scene
    Patent number: 7027925
    Abstract: A method for displaying a bottom-hole assembly together with a borehole trajectory includes displaying the borehole trajectory in a display window; and displaying the bottom-hole assembly in the display window such that the borehole trajectory and the bottom-hole assembly are in parallel and a measurement depth of the bottom-hole assembly corresponds to a measurement depth of the borehole trajectory.

  • Method and apparatus for determining regional dip properties
    Patent number: 6856910
    Abstract: A method for determining a formation dip angle including extracting features from an acquired well log to obtain a set of features, validating the set of features to obtain a subset of features, generating a layered model using the subset of features, and generating a synthetic log using the layered model and a forward model.

  • Method and system for supplying well log data to a customer
    Patent number: 6675101
    Abstract: A method for supplying a customer with well log data including obtaining wellsite properties from the customer, recommending at least one tool string and analysis software tool combination using the wellsite properties, processing well log data using customer domain information and the least one tool string and analysis software tool combination to obtain processed well log data, viewing the processed well log data using an interactive viewer, manipulating the customer domain information, and updating the processed well log data on the interactive viewer using the manipulated customer domain information.
