Method and system for processing well log data from multiple wells using machine learning
A method may include obtaining well log data regarding a geological region of interest. The well log data may correspond to logging-while-drilling (LWD) measurements or measurement-while-drilling (MWD) measurements acquired from various wellbores. The method may further include generating image data regarding the geological region of interest using the well log data and a recurrent neural network. The method may further include determining a drilling parameter for a wellbore among the wellbores in real-time using the image data. The drilling parameter may be determined while the well log data is being acquired in the wellbore. The method may further include transmitting, based on the drilling parameter, a command to a drilling system coupled to the wellbore.
ASSESSMENT OF FORMATION TRUE DIP, TRUE AZIMUTH, AND DATA QUALITY WITH MULTICOMPONENT INDUCTION AND DIRECTIONAL LOGGING
A method for real-time formation assessment using a multi-component induction logging tool includes conveying a multi-component induction (MCI) logging tool along a borehole through a formation. The method further includes determining a relative dip and a relative azimuth of the formation based on data from the MCI logging tool. The method further includes calculating true dip and true azimuth of the formation based on the relative dip and the relative azimuth. The method further includes assessing the quality of the true dip and the true azimuth calculations.
Verifying Measurements of Elastic Anisotropy Parameters In An Anisotropic Wellbore Environment
A portion of an anisotropy formation through which a wellbore is formed can be identified.
