ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to methods and systems for displaying geological formation data obtained through well logging in the technical field of petroleum engineering. In one embodiment of this invention, two or more cylindrical surfaces are provided each representing a depth of investigation. The cylindrical surfaces can be dissected into different sectors along azimuths of interest to the human operator. Images of formation information data are attached to (or exposed by) cylindrical surfaces and wings exposed by dissection. Each sector can be displayed individually or together with other sectors so that the human operator can easily analyze the results. Further, the systems and methods can be used to display not only raw well logging data or processed well logging data, but also interpretations of the analysis so that a person unfamiliar with well logging analysis can easily comprehend the results of the analysis.
