Abstract
Methods, computer-readable media, and systems are disclosed for applying 1D processing in a non-1D formation. In some embodiments, a 3D model or curtain section of a subsurface earth formation may be obtained. A processing window within the 3D model or curtain that is suitable for 1D inversion processing is determined, and a local 1D model for the processing window is built. A 1D inversion is performed on the local 1D model, and inverted formation parameters are used to update the 3D model or curtain section.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by one or more processors, a 3D model or curtain section of a subsurface earth formation;
- determining, by one or more processors, a processing window within the 3D model or curtain section for 1D inversion processing;
- building, by one or more processors, a local 1D model for the processing window;
- performing, by one or more processors, a 1D inversion on the local 1D model to generate an inverted 1D model having at least one formation parameter;
- and
- updating, by one or more processors, the 3D model or curtain section using the at least one formation parameter.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining a 3D model or curtain section of a subsurface earth formation;
- determining a processing window within the 3D model or curtain section for 1D inversion processing;
- building a local 1D model for the processing window;
- performing a 1D inversion on the local 1D model to generate an inverted 1D model having at least one formation parameter;
- and
- updating the 3D model or curtain section using the at least one formation parameter.
A system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a non-transitory tangible computer-readable memory accessible by the one or more processors and comprising computer-executable instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining a 3D model or curtain section of a subsurface earth formation;
- determining a processing window within the 3D model or curtain section for 1D inversion processing;
- building a local 1D model for the processing window;
- performing a 1D inversion on the local 1D model to generate an inverted 1D model having at least one formation parameter;
- and
- updating the 3D model or curtain section using the at least one formation parameter.
