Abstract
An example method for modeling a geological formation includes receiving a set of measurements from an electromagnetic logging tool and representing at least one characteristic of the geological formation as at least one continuous spatial function. At least one coefficient of the at least one continuous spatial function may be determined based, at least in part, on the set of measurements. At least one characteristic of the geological formation may be determined based, at least in part, on the at least one continuous spatial function.
Claims22
A method for modeling a geological formation, comprising:
- receiving a set of measurements from an electromagnetic logging tool;
- representing at least one characteristic of the geological formation as at least one continuous spatial function;
- determining at least one coefficient of the at least one continuous spatial function based, at least in part, on the set of measurements;
- and
- determining at least one characteristic of the geological formation based, at least in part, on the at least one continuous spatial function.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a set of instruction that, when executed by a processor of the computer, cause the processor to:
- receive a set of measurements from an electromagnetic logging tool;
- represent at least one characteristic of the geological formation as at least one continuous spatial function;
- and
- determine one or more coefficients of at least one continuous spatial functions based, at least in part, on the set of measurements;
- and
- determine a characteristic of the geological formation based, at least in part, on the at least one continuous spatial functions.
