METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR USING FORMATION PROPERTY DATA

摘要

This application relates to various methods and apparatus for rapidly obtaining accurate formation property data from a drilled earthen borehole. Once obtained, the formation property data, including formation fluid pressure, may be corrected, calibrated and supplemented using various other data and techniques disclosed herein. Furthermore, the formation property da ta may be used for numerous other purposes. For example, the data may be used t o correct or supplement other information gathered from the borehole; it may b e used to supplement formation images or models; or, it may be used to adjust a drilling or producing parameter. Various other uses of accurately and quickl y obtained formation property data are also disclosed.
