  • Patent number: 11422280
    Abstract: A method for determining properties of a laminated formation traversed by a well or wellbore employs measured sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for an interval-of-interest within the well or wellbore. A formation model that describe properties of the laminated formation at the interval-of-interest is derived from the measured sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest. The formation model represents the laminated formation at the interval-of-interest as first and second zones of different first and second rock types. The formation model is used to derive simulated sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest. The measured sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest and the simulated sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest are used to refine the formation model and determine properties of the formation at the interval-of-interest.

  • Publication number: 20220146705
    Abstract: Facies of a formation are classified from data charactering properties of a portion of the formation as a function of depth, wherein the number of facies is determined automatically in an unsupervised manner without human input. In one embodiment, a layer-based methodology is provided that performs facies classification based on layer-based properties which are determined from well log data obtained from a plurality of different well logging tools. In another embodiment, a depth-based methodology is provided that performs facies classification based on well log data obtained depth-by-depth from a plurality of different well logging tools. The number of facies can be determined automatically without human input, for example using the Bayesian Information Criterion or a method which determines the optimal number of clusters based on the repeatability of the clustering results. In embodiments, the facies classification can be performed using the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) method.
