A method is provided for processing resistivity data associated with a formation. The resistivity data relating to the formation proximate to a wellbore is obtained. The resistivity data is divided in to a preconfigured plurality of bins, wherein the resistivity data associated with each bin is measured in the direction or the range of directions corresponding to the bin. A rose diagram is generated for a portion of the resistivity data associated with a measured depth of the wellbore. The rose diagram includes a circle divided into a plurality of sectors, wherein each sector corresponds to a bin. Each sector visually represents the resistivity data relating to the formation in a direction or range of directions from the wellbore corresponding to the bin. The generated rose diagram is rendered for display. The rendered rose diagram displays the resistivity data in a cross-section perpendicular to the wellbore at the corresponding measured depth.

Evaluation and visualization of azimuthal resistivity data

The disclosure presents processes that utilize collected resistivity data, for example, from an ultra-deep resistivity tool located downhole a borehole. In some aspects, each slice of resistivity data can generate multiple distribution curves that can be overlaid offset resistivity logs. In some aspects, an analysis can be performed to identify trends in the distribution curves that can be used to identify approximate locations of subterranean formation surfaces, shoulder beds, obstacles, proximate boreholes, and other borehole and geological characteristics. As the number of distribution curves generated increase, the confidence in the analysis also increases. In some aspects, the number of distribution curves can be twenty, one hundred, one hundred and one, or other counts of distribution curves. In some aspects, the resistivity data can be used to generate two or more synchronized view perspectives of a specific location along the borehole, where each view perspective uses the same focus area.
