  • Patent number: 11874420
    Abstract: A cross sectional representation of a geological surface is displayed on a display screen. A segment of the cross-sectional representation is edited, and a pseudo log of formation properties based on the edited segment is displayed on the display screen. A determination is made whether formation properties associated with the pseudo log match actual formation properties measured during drilling of a well and a signal is output indicative of the match. A drill operator may use a structural model determined based on the edited geological surface to drill for hydrocarbons in the formation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11852774
    Abstract: A method is provided for processing sensor data associated with a formation. The sensor data is obtained and divided into a plurality of voxels in a three-dimensional environment. Each voxel corresponds to a location in the formation surrounding a wellbore. A selection of a first point in the three-dimensional environment corresponding to a first position along the wellbore is received. A selection of a first two-dimensional shape intersecting the first point is received. A selection of a second point corresponding to a second position different from the first position along the wellbore is received. A three-dimensional volume containing a subset of the plurality of voxels of sensor data is generated. The three-dimensional volume is bound at least by the first point and the first two-dimensional shape at a first end and by the second point at a second end. The generated three-dimensional volume is rendered for output on a display.
