  • Comprehensive method of processing measurement while drilling data from one or more sensors
    Patent number: 5511037
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the transformation of measurement while drilling (MWD) data acquired during various time intervals into corresponding equal depth intervals. Once the data are transformed into the depth domain, depth based statistical, filtering sensor resolution matching and depth shifting techniques are utilized. The transformation process maximizes sensor vertical resolution while minimizing observed and statistical errors associated with sensor response.
