  • Patent number: 11620727
    Abstract: A well log is scanned for one or more dimensions that describe one or more features of a well. Each dimension includes a plurality of values in a numerical format that represents each dimension. A missing value is detected in a first plurality of values of a first dimension of the well log. The first dimension of the well log is transformed, in response to the missing value, into a first image that visually depicts the first dimension including the first plurality of values and the missing value. Based on the first image and based on an image analysis algorithm a second image is created that visually depicts the first plurality of values and includes a found depiction visually depicting a found value in place of the missing value. The found depiction is converted, based on the second image, into a first value in the numerical format.
