  • Systems and methods for identifying subsurface features as a function of position in a subsurface volume of interest
    Patent number: 10962675
    Abstract: Exemplary implementations may: obtain subsurface relaxation time data specifying subsurface relaxation time values corresponding to a well in the subsurface volume of interest; generating a subsurface relaxation time distribution using the subsurface relaxation time data; generating a subsurface porosity distribution using the subsurface relaxation time distribution; generating a representation of the subsurface porosity distribution in the subsurface volume of interest using visual effects to depict at least one of the one or more subsurface relaxation time values; and display the representation.
    Type: Grant
