Abstract
A method for determining a formation dip angle including extracting features from an acquired well log to obtain a set of features, validating the set of features to obtain a subset of features, generating a layered model using the subset of features, and generating a synthetic log using the layered model and a forward model.
Claims28
A method for determining a formation dip angle comprising:
- extracting features from an acquired well log to obtain a set of features;
- validating the set of features to obtain a subset of features;
- generating a layered model using the subset of features;
- and
- generating a synthetic log using the layered model and a forward model.
A computer system determining a formation dip angle comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory;
- a storage device;
- a computer display;
- and
- software instructions stored in the memory for enabling the computer system under control of the processor, to perform:
- extracting features from an acquired well log to obtain a set of features;
- validating the set of features to obtain a subset of features;
- generating a layered model using the subset of features;
- and
- generating a synthetic log using the layered model and a forward model.
A system for determining a formation dip angle comprising:
- a well log data acquisition system for acquiring a well log;
- and
- a well log data processing system, wherein the well log data processing system extracts features from the acquired well log to obtain a set of features, validates the set of features to obtain a subset of features, generates a layered model using the subset of features, and generates a synthetic log using the layered model and a forward model.
An apparatus for determining a formation dip angle comprising:
- means for extracting features from an acquired well log to obtain a set of features;
- means for validating the set of features to obtain a sub-set of features;
- means for generating a layered model using the subset of features;
- and
- means for generating a synthetic log using the layered model and a forward model.
