Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining a borehole image deriving from a downhole tool in a wellbore of a geological formation, identifying one or more patches that correspond to sediment particles on the fullbore image, computing one or more characteristics for each of the one or more patches. The one or more characteristics may include long/short axis length, size, roundness, sphericity, orientation, or some combination thereof. The method may also include displaying a visual representation for each of the one or more characteristics.
Abstract:
A method for correcting an LWD image to remove stick slip features includes obtaining an LWD image in a wellbore. Surface depth measurements may be interpolated to obtain interpolated surface depths at selected ones of the depths in the LWD image and evaluated to obtain a first tool status log. The LWD image may be evaluated to obtain a second tool status log. The two status logs may be synchronized to obtain a synchronized log. A stick slip feature may be identified in the LWD image and the image resampled to remove the stick slip feature from the LWD image.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for modeling subsurface rock formations based on well log data are provided. Systems include a downhole tool for acquiring data from which borehole dips may be picked and a processor including machine-readable instructions for curvature analysis based on inputs generated from the picked borehole dips data and which may be independent of 2D cross section model orientation. Methods (which may be incorporated in the machine-readable instructions corresponding to the systems) include pre-processing borehole dips data to generate inputs such as true stratigraphic thickness index, Local Constant Dips, borehole structural dip, and attributes for structural dip projections which may be used in a curvature analysis process for generating curvature logs such as standard, curvature along axis and curvature normal to axis logs from for smoothed dips, short zone structural dips and/or long zone structural dips.
Abstract:
Embodiments presented provide for a method for identification of defects in geological stratum, called vugs. The identification of the vugs is performed on data from high resolution oil-based mud images obtained from wireline and/or drilling activities.
