PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION BASED LOGGING TOOL DATA COMPRESSION

摘要

A method for analyzing a geological formation having a borehole therein may include obtaining at least one measured response for the geological formation from within the borehole using a logging tool, and determining a probability distribution corresponding to the at least one measured response at the logging tool within the borehole. The method may further include determining a plurality of coefficients representing the probability distribution at the logging tool within the borehole, and communicating the coefficients representing the probability distribution from the logging tool within the borehole to a receiving device at the surface of the borehole and without transmitting the at least one measured response to the receiving device from within the borehole.
