  • Method for defining borehole wall image profiles from geological outcrops photographs
    Patent number: 12781613
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for defining borehole wall image profiles from geological outcrops photographs. The objectives of the present invention are related to the creation of a planar projection of a pseudocylinder originating from longitudinal 2D images of geological outcrops available photographs. By means of the present invention, said created projection can be used by specific intelligence mechanisms, with pseudo image profiles being obtained for correlation with real image profiles. This said solution, unlike the prior art, allows that pseudo image profiles to be obtained at a low cost.

  • METHOD FOR ELABORATING PSEUDO-LOGS OF IMAGE OF WELL WALLS FROM PHOTOGRAPHS OF GEOLOGICAL OUTCROPS
    Publication number: 20250163797
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for defining logs of image of well walls from photographs of geological outcrops. The objectives of the present invention are related to the creation of a flat projection of a pseudo-cylinder originating from longitudinal 2D images of available photographs of geological outcrops. By means of the present invention, said created projection can be used by specific intelligence mechanisms, obtaining pseudo-logs of image for correlation with real logs of image. This solution, unlike the state of the art, allows obtaining pseudo-logs of image at low cost.
