Abstract:
The subject disclosure relates to the interpretation of borehole sonic data using machine learning. In one example of a method in accordance with aspects of the instant disclosure, borehole sonic data is received, and machine learning is used to interpret the borehole sonic data.
Abstract:
A method may include acquiring NMR data and sonic data for a borehole in a subsurface geologic region; inverting the NMR data and the sonic data to determine volume fractions for a number of classes of pore types, where the classes include shape and size-based classes; and characterizing the subsurface geologic region based on the volume fractions for the number of classes.
Abstract:
A method for determining properties of a laminated formation traversed by a well or wellbore employs measured sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for an interval-of-interest within the well or wellbore. A formation model that describe properties of the laminated formation at the interval-of-interest is derived from the measured sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest. The formation model represents the laminated formation at the interval-of-interest as first and second zones of different first and second rock types. The formation model is used to derive simulated sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest. The measured sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest and the simulated sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest are used to refine the formation model and determine properties of the formation at the interval-of-interest. The properties of the formation may be a radial profile for porosity, a radial profile for water saturation, a radial profile for gas saturation, radial profile of oil saturation, and radial profiles for pore shapes for the first and second zones (or rock types).

Abstract:
A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving downhole logging data for a porous media. A pore size distribution index may be estimated based upon, at least in part, nuclear magnetic resonance data (NMR) from the downhole logging data of the porous media. A relative permeability and capillary pressure curve may be generated with a feasible region of solutions based upon, at least in part, the pore size distribution index.
Abstract:
A method and computing system device for receiving a plurality of well logs. A depth shift between at least one well log of the plurality of well logs and at least one other well log may be determined based upon, at least in part, processing the plurality of well logs with a neural network. The plurality of well logs may be matched with one another based upon, at least in part, the depth shift between the at least one well log and the at least one other well log.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method is provided for determining properties of a formation traversed by a well or wellbore. A formation model describing formation properties at an interval-of-interest within the well or wellbore is derived from measured sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest. The formation model is used as input to a plurality of petrophysical transforms and corresponding tool response simulators that derive simulated sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest. The measured sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest and the simulated sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest are used by an inversion process to refine the formation model and determine properties of the formation at the interval-of-interest. In embodiments, properties of the formation may be radial profiles for porosity, water saturation, gas or oil saturation, or pore aspect ratio.
