  • Patent number: 11774631
    Abstract: A method can include receiving neutron data and density data for a borehole in a geologic formation; determining a migration length value for a layer of the geologic formation based at least in part on the neutron data; forward modeling at least the layer based at least in part on the migration length value and the density data; and outputting, based at least in part on the forward modeling, modeled neutron data for the layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 10, 2019
    Date of Patent: October 3, 2023
    Assignee: Schlumberger Technology Corporaton

  • Patent number: 10598817
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program product utilize a buffer defined relative to a wellbore trajectory to generate a work zone around a wellbore for use in connection with formation modeling. In some embodiments, for example, a closed curve such as a non-rectangular, polygonal work zone may be defined around a wellbore based upon a buffer that extends generally transverse to the trajectory of a length of a wellbore a predetermined distance. In addition, boundaries may be defined in a work zone to effectively split the work zone into multiple closed curves or polygons in response to user editing, e.g., to create one or more subsurface layers in the work zone. In such instances, points defining a subsurface layer may be shared by adjacent layers such that editing of such points will affect each of the layers sharing such points.

  • Patent number: 9536334
    Abstract: A well log is obtained that includes log data gathered along a trajectory of a wellbore. An orientation parameter defining a perspective for displaying the log data along the trajectory is also obtained. Following a path of the trajectory, an image strip is rendered from the log data based on the orientation parameter, where the image strip is a pictorial representation of the log data. The image strip is displayed along the trajectory.
