Abstract

Methods and systems for extracting formation properties from formation logging data is disclosed. A method includes obtaining a deconvolution filter; and processing the formation logging data using the deconvolution filter to produce estimates of the formation properties. The estimates of the formation properties may be further processed with a diffusion filter, which may be an anisotropic diffusion filter. A system for extracting formation properties from formation logging data includes a central processing unit and a memory, wherein the memory stores a program having instructions for performing a method that includes designing a deconvolution filter; and processing the formation logging data using the deconvolution filter to produce estimates of the formation properties.
