  • Publication number: 20240068348
    Abstract: A system can display confidence values in a wellbore inversion model using a visual indicator. The system can receive downhole data relating to the wellbore from a downhole tool deployed in a wellbore of a geological formation during a wellbore operation. The system can additionally generate an inversion model of the geological formation by performing inversion processing on the downhole data. Furthermore, the system can determine confidence values for the downhole data in the inversion model. Additionally, the system can determine a depth of detection limit for the downhole data based on the confidence values. The system can output the inversion model, the depth of detection limit, and a visual indicator based on the confidence values for display at a display device for use in adjusting the wellbore operation.

  • Patent number: 11243324
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include systems and methods to evaluate formation resistivity. In one embodiment, a method to evaluate formation resistivity proximate a wellbore is provided. The methods includes receiving data indicative of resistivity measurements of a formation proximate a wellbore at different distances within a range of distances from the wellbore. The method also includes analyzing the data to determine approximate formation resistivity of the formation at different distances from the wellbore. The method further includes generating at least one curve, each indicative of an approximate formation resistivity of the formation at the different distances from the wellbore, overlaying the at least one curve on a graph indicative of the formation resistivity of the formation within the range of distances from the wellbore, and providing the at least one curve overlaid on the graph for display on a device.

  • Patent number: 9753170
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus and a system, as well as a method and an article, may operate to determine a compressional velocity (CV) of a geological formation, to determine a reflection coefficient (RC) associated with the geological formation, and to determine a density of the geological formation based on the CV and the RC. The CV and RC may be determined from values associated with sonic and ultrasonic velocity measurements. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are described.
