Abstract:
A method for integrating graphical logging content of a subterranean wellbore includes processing a plurality of digitized display images and relevant context information to generate a single synchronized display image including representations of each of the plurality of display image. The plurality of digitized display images and relevant context information are received at a central processor from a corresponding plurality of source tools or source processors. The display images are representative of subterranean wellbore conditions.
Abstract:
A method can include receiving data that characterizes anisotropy of a formation; receiving a model that models one or more planes of weakness in an anisotropic formation; and, based at least in part on the model and the data, outputting information germane to stability of a bore in an anisotropic formation.

Abstract:
A method of interpreting petrophysical measurement data include arranging measurements of at least one physical property of formations into a matrix representing the measurements and selecting a range of number of unobserved factors or latent variables for factor analysis. Factor analysis is performed on the measurement matrix and comprises performing factorization of measurements matrix into a number of factorsand performing rotation of the factorization results. Whether the factor loadings for each factor have achieved a “simple structure” is determined and either each of the selected number of factors is associated with a physical parameter of the formations, or one is added to the number of factors and factor analysis and rotation are repeated until factor loadings of all factors have achieved “simple structure” such that the each of the number of factors is associated with a physical property of the formations.
