    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program product utilize a buffer defined relative to a wellbore trajectory to generate a work zone around a wellbore for use in connection with formation modeling. In some embodiments, for example, a closed curve such as a non-rectangular, polygonal work zone may be defined around a wellbore based upon a buffer that extends generally transverse to the trajectory of a length of a wellbore a predetermined distance. In addition, boundaries may be defined in a work zone to effectively split the work zone into multiple closed curves or polygons in response to user editing, e.g., to create one or more subsurface layers in the work zone. In such instances, points defining a subsurface layer may be shared by adjacent layers such that editing of such points will affect each of the layers sharing such points.

    Abstract: A method for automatic interpretation of bulls-eye and sinusoidal features observed in LWD images is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes an automatic workflow for extracting smooth contours from images that demarcate boundaries of structural features, followed by projection of the contours to three-dimensional (3D) point clouds in the well coordinate system for structural interpretation. The method may characterize both sinusoidal features and bulls-eye features, taking into account variations of formation dip/azimuth, or well inclination/azimuth, on the topology of a structural feature. The disclosed method may be sufficiently fast for use in real-time analysis and interpretation, or to provide constraints for physics-based data inversion processing.
