  • Patent number: 11982144
    Abstract: Generating a virtual core includes obtaining acquired data for a region of interest, determining a rock type of the region of interest, obtaining a selection of modules based on the rock type, and generating, using the acquired data and an interpolator from the modules, a wellbore image of the region of interest. The interpolator generates interpolated data between data points among the acquired data in the wellbore image. Further, using a quantifier from the plurality of modules, a core characterization of the region of interest is determined. The core characterization describes an integration of wellbore data types. Using the core characterization and the wellbore image, a digital core construction of the region of interest is generated. The digital core construction describes subterranean formation properties of the region of interest.

  • Publication number: 20150346384
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enhancing local heterogeneity of cased-hole well logging information are provided. An example of such a cased-hole well logging system may include a downhole tool and data processing circuitry. The downhole tool may obtain cased-hole logging information over a depth of a cased wellbore. The data processing circuitry may normalize at least some of the cased-hole logging information over at least a first subsection of the depth and may map visualization indicators to the normalized cased-hole logging information. The mapping of the visualization indicators to the normalized cased-hole logging information may enable an analyst to identify casing and/or annulus material properties not readily apparent using exclusively absolute visualizations of the cased-hole logging information.
