Continuous measurement of heterogeneity of geomaterials

A computer readable medium comprising instructions executable by a processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

• identifying a core section from a well within a field;
• obtaining the core section from the well;
• obtaining a continuous measurement of the core section;
• overlaying the continuous measurement with a first log response for the core section to obtain an overlay;
• associating an observation with the overlay to obtain a first integrated overlay;
• comparing the first log response with a second log response for the core section;
• determining that the second log response more accurately characterizes the core section;
• repeating the overlaying and associating using the second log response to obtain a second integrated overlay;
• analyzing the second integrated overlay to identify a location in the core section from which to obtain a sample;
• obtaining the sample from the core section;
• analyzing the sample to obtain an analysis result;
• and
• developing a model for the field using the analysis result.

A device for determining heterogeneity of a core section, comprising:

• means for performing a first pass over of the core section to obtain continuous measurements of the core section;
• means for combining the continuous measurements with a log response and an observation to obtain an integrated overlay, the observation associated with data related to the core section;
• means for identifying locations within the core section from which to obtain samples using the integrated overlay;
• and
• means for obtaining the samples using the identified locations during a second pass over the core section, the samples selected to provide information associated with heterogeneous portions of the core section.
