Abstract: Systems and methods to assess formation data are disclosed. The method includes partitioning a formation containing a plurality of rock types into a plurality of sections. For a section of the plurality of sections, the method also includes determining, for each rock type of the plurality of rock types, a probability that the rock type is present in the section. The method further includes assigning a value to the section of the plurality of sections based on a probability that the section contains one or more rock types of the plurality of rock types. The method further includes analyzing the formation based on the value associated with the section.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a method, apparatus, and computer program product configured to provide a probabilistic approach for real time drilling. In particular, the disclosed embodiments are configured to obtain real-time data gathered during the drilling operation to update a probability model of a formation that is used in determining whether to alter a direction of a drill path. The disclosed embodiments may be configured to provide a notification to a user indicating or suggesting that certain adjustments be made to the drill path based on the updated probability model. Additionally, the disclosed embodiments may be configured to automatically make the adjustments to the drill path based on the updated probability model.
