Patent 7286937 was granted and assigned to Schlumberger on October, 2007 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Methods and systems for extracting formation properties from formation logging data is disclosed. A method includes obtaining a deconvolution filter; and processing the formation logging data using the deconvolution filter to produce estimates of the formation properties. The estimates of the formation properties may be further processed with a diffusion filter, which may be an anisotropic diffusion filter. A system for extracting formation properties from formation logging data includes a central processing unit and a memory, wherein the memory stores a program having instructions for performing a method that includes designing a deconvolution filter; and processing the formation logging data using the deconvolution filter to produce estimates of the formation properties.
