Abstract: The disclosure provides methods and systems for improving the interpretation of formation evaluation measurements. The methods involve using a downhole tool to measure a property of a formation at multiple depths of investigation and calculating a spatial integrated J function, a spatial integrated K function, or both from the measurements. The J function and K function are used in different applications to improve interpretation. The system includes a tool for measuring a formation property and a processor for calculating a spatial integrated J function, a spatial integrated K function from the measurements taken at different depths of investigation. The processor may also perform interpretations such as classifications, probability distributions and initialization steps for radial inversion using the J and K functions.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method to determine a characteristic of a subsurface formation using electromagnetic coupling components. A downhole logging tool having one or more transmitters and one or more receivers, and being capable of measuring the electromagnetic coupling components is provided. The electromagnetic coupling components are measured using the downhole logging tool and used to form a 3-D Lateral Indicator and/or a 3-D Longitudinal Indicator. The 3-D Lateral Indicator and/or the 3-D Longitudinal Indicator are used to determine the characteristic of the subsurface formation.

Abstract: A method comprising: estimating a change in a characteristic of a subterranean formation into which a fluid has been injected via a well extending into the subterranean formation; building a multi-dimensional model balancing mass of the injected fluid, wherein the model is based on the estimated characteristic change; utilizing the model to determine the sensitivity of a borehole gravity tool in the well; measuring gravity with the borehole gravity tool at a plurality of stations along the well; and utilizing the model and the gravity measurements to locate the injected fluid in the subterranean formation.

Abstract: Method and system for visualizing one or more properties of a subterranean earth formation while drilling a borehole using probability information from a modeling process. Probability waveforms based on information from a plurality of borehole stations may be plotted, either alone or superimposed onto other graphical representations, to provide a visual display that is easily interpreted by a user to make geosteering decisions. The probability waveforms include peaked sections that are proportional to the amount of uncertainty or error associated with a boundary estimate at a particular distance from an axis of the borehole. By providing a visual display of the uncertainty, a user can make better geosteering decisions.

Abstract: A method includes interpreting first dimensional data such as a caliper log for a wellbore at a first time, and interpreting second dimensional data such as a caliper log for the wellbore at a second time. The method further includes determining a dimensional differential in response to the first dimensional data and the second dimensional data. The dimensional differential includes a volume difference between cross-sectional profiles from the first dimensional data and the second dimensional data. The cross-sectional profiles for comparison may be at a specified axial location or range of axial locations in the wellbore. The method includes graphically displaying the dimensional differential by marking the dimensional differential with a first marker index where the first dimensional data is inside the second dimensional data, and with a second marker index where the first dimensional data is outside the second dimensional data.
