Abstract
A downhole system performs a method of operating a downhole device. The downhole system includes a downhole device configured to obtain measurements of a formation parameter at a measure point along a trajectory of the downhole device, and a processor. The processor defines an initial volume surrounding the downhole device, calculates a first radial parameter value using a predetermined formation parameter value distribution in the initial volume, the first radial parameter value representing a distance from the measure point and defining a volume of investigation, and performs the operation of the downhole device using the volume of investigation.
