Abstract
In one embodiment, a computer-based method includes obtaining a borehole image deriving from a downhole tool in a borehole of a geological formation, performing dip picking on the borehole image to derive one or more structural dips, deriving a continuous structural dip based on the one or more structural dips, defining one or more locations of zone boundaries on the borehole image, deriving one or more zone boundaries based on the continuous structural dip and the one or more locations of zone boundaries, and defining one or more zones of the wellbore in a second image based on the one or more zone boundaries.
