  • Patent number: 11982144
    Abstract: Generating a virtual core includes obtaining acquired data for a region of interest, determining a rock type of the region of interest, obtaining a selection of modules based on the rock type, and generating, using the acquired data and an interpolator from the modules, a wellbore image of the region of interest. The interpolator generates interpolated data between data points among the acquired data in the wellbore image. Further, using a quantifier from the plurality of modules, a core characterization of the region of interest is determined. The core characterization describes an integration of wellbore data types. Using the core characterization and the wellbore image, a digital core construction of the region of interest is generated. The digital core construction describes subterranean formation properties of the region of interest.

  • Publication number: 20150234069
    Abstract: Methods and systems acquiring acoustic data utilizing a downhole tool conveyed within a borehole extending into a subterranean formation. The downhole tool is in communication with surface equipment disposed at a wellsite surface from which the borehole extends. Techniques involve operating at least one of the downhole tool and the surface equipment to generate a histogram based on the acoustic data, normalizing the histogram, and calculating a vug index based on the normalized histogram and based on a threshold of the normalized histogram. A vug porosity quantity may be determined based on the calculated vug index.
