Abstract
The present invention relates to the processing of well data obtained from a completed wellbore. This processing comprises receiving initial well data comprising at least one lithologic segment, each segment representing a lithologic layer each of which comprises a line of inclination or a surface of inclination. This processing furthermore comprises converting the initial well data into restored well data; and delivering the restored well data. The conversion of the initial well data comprises, for each lithologic segment, projecting said lithologic segment onto a normal to the line of inclination or to the surface of inclination to form a projected lithologic segment, and the concatenation of at least one projected lithologic segment to form restored well data.
