Abstract

Methods and systems are provided that determine or estimate total clay volume fraction in a formation for well log data of the formation using machine learning are described. Methods and systems are also provided that employ computation models to determine amounts or concentrations of at least one clay mineral in the formation from total clay volume fraction of the formation.
