  • Assessing organic richness using microresistivity images and acoustic velocity
    Patent number: 10393920
    Abstract: A method for determining organic richness of a formation is disclosed. The method involves obtaining a microresistivity image of the formation, obtaining acoustic logging data for the formation, fusing the microresistivity image with the acoustic logging data to generate a fused pseudo-acoustic image of the formation, and determining an organic richness image based on the fused pseudo-acoustic image. The difference between the fused pseudo-acoustic image and the microresistivity image indicates organic richness.
    Type: Grant
