Abstract
The disclosed embodiments include systems and methods to evaluate formation resistivity. The method includes obtaining, from a downhole tool deployed in a borehole, a plurality of values of formation resistivity of a downhole formation proximate the borehole. The method also includes generating a plurality of two-dimensional renderings of the formation resistivity based on the plurality of values, wherein each two-dimensional rendering of the plurality of two-dimensional renderings illustrates an inversion of the formation resistivity along a plane of the downhole formation. The method further includes generating a volumetric rendering of the formation resistivity of the downhole formation from the plurality of two-dimensional renderings, wherein the volumetric rendering comprises a plurality of two-dimensional planes, and wherein each two-dimensional plane of the plurality of two-dimensional planes illustrates an inversion of formation resistivity along the respective plane. The method further includes providing the volumetric rendering for display on an electronic device.
