GEOLOGIC VELOCITY MODELING FRAMEWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18294868 titled 'GEOLOGIC VELOCITY MODELING FRAMEWORK

The patent application describes a method for generating a model of a geologic environment using sonic data logs acquired from a borehole.

  • The method involves receiving a sonic data log for a length interval of a borehole.
  • The sonic data log is represented using an ordered series representation with respect to length.
  • The ordered series representation is used to invert the sonic data log and generate a model of the geologic environment.
  • The model includes property values related to sonic velocity.

Potential Applications: - Geologic exploration and mapping - Oil and gas exploration - Mining operations

Problems Solved: - Efficiently generating models of geologic environments - Improving accuracy of sonic velocity related property values

Benefits: - Enhanced understanding of subsurface geology - Optimized resource extraction processes

Commercial Applications: Title: Geologic Modeling Technology for Resource Exploration This technology can be used in industries such as oil and gas, mining, and geotechnical engineering for more accurate and efficient exploration and extraction processes.

Questions about Geologic Modeling Technology: 1. How does this method improve the accuracy of geologic models? 

  - The method uses sonic data logs to generate detailed models of geologic environments, leading to more accurate property values.

2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this technology in resource exploration? 

  - By accurately mapping geologic environments, companies can optimize drilling and extraction processes, leading to cost savings in operations.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method can include receiving a sonic data log for a length interval of a borehole in a geologic environment as acquired via a tool disposed in the borehole; representing the sonic data log using an ordered series representation with respect to length for at least a portion of the length interval; and inverting the sonic data log using the ordered series representation to generate a model of at least a portion of the geologic environment, where the model includes sonic velocity related property values.
