Original Abstract Submitted
in some examples, a method for identifying secondary porosities can include correlating multiple sets of data of a subsurface formation, identifying one or more secondary porosities based on the correlated data, and determining a volumetric estimation of the subsurface formation based on the one or more secondary porosities. the multiple sets of data are selected from one or more of core sample images, borehole images, caliper enlargement data, bad-hole flag data, and loss circulation data.
