    Abstract: Techniques for log squaring using both directional and non-directional electromagnetic measurements are disclosed. The techniques described herein can be used for determining bed boundary locations and assigning resistivity values to each layer in a layered earth model, regardless of well deviation. Potential bed boundary locations can be derived from both directional and non-directional electromagnetic measurement data. The bed boundary locations from the directional and non-directional measurements can then be consolidated using a weighted averaging scheme, where weight can be dependent based on apparent formation dip. By combining the results from both directional and non-directional measurements, the log squaring techniques described herein can be used in most wells regardless of the well angle (the angle can be arbitrary). Once bed boundaries are selected, formation properties, such as horizontal resistivity (Rh) and vertical resistivity (Rv) can be assigned to the model layers.

    Abstract: A petrophysically regularized time domain nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) inversion includes using an NMR tool to acquire NMR data and inverting the acquired NMR data in a time domain using petrophysical constraints. The inverted NMR data is analyzed. The petrophysical constraints may be identified by: determining a number of porobodons to seek, defining a plurality of zones in which only a subset of porobodon sets is present, and stacking all NMR echoes in each zone satisfying discriminators. The number of porobodons to seek may be based on knowledge of core samples, logs, and NMR sensitivity. The discriminator logs may be logs sensitive to porosity partitioning. A computing system having a processor, a memory, and a program stored in memory may be configured to perform the method. The system may be conveyed downhole on a wireline, a while-drilling drill string, a coiled tubing, a slickline, or a wired drill pipe.
