Method for determining properties of a thinly laminated formation by inversion of multisensor wellbore logging data
A method for determining properties of a laminated formation traversed by a well or wellbore employs measured sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for an interval-of-interest within the well or wellbore. A formation model that describe properties of the laminated formation at the interval-of-interest is derived from the measured sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest. The formation model represents the laminated formation at the interval-of-interest as first and second zones of different first and second rock types. The formation model is used to derive simulated sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest. The measured sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest and the simulated sonic data, resistivity data, and density data for the interval-of-interest are used to refine the formation model and determine properties of the formation at the interval-of-interest. The properties of the formation may be a radial profile for porosity, a radial profile for water saturation, a radial profile for gas saturation, radial profile of oil saturation, and radial profiles for pore shapes for the first and second zones (or rock types).
