  • Geosteering systems and methods thereof
    Patent number: 10353356
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates, in some embodiments, to methods and systems of geosteering or geological operations. In some embodiments, systems of the present disclosure may transmit MWD or LWD data to a processor. The processor may extrapolate and convert the MWD or LWD data into KBTVD or pseudo-vertical data. Said extrapolation may be performed based on algorithmic expressions between the True Vertical Depth, the formation dip angle, and a Vertical Section Distance. In some embodiments, vertical data may be extrapolated by a processor and converted into pseudo-horizontal data. In some embodiments, systems may evaluate the formation dip angle and extrapolate a corrected true thickness of an interval layer. Screen representations of aforementioned data may be provided for. Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide for improved or more accurate data and/or virtualizations in the horizontal and/or vertical directions.
    Type: Grant
