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

A method is provided for processing sensor data associated with a formation. The sensor data is obtained and divided into a plurality of voxels in a three-dimensional environment. Each voxel corresponds to a location in the formation surrounding a wellbore. A selection of a first point in the three-dimensional environment corresponding to a first position along the wellbore is received. A selection of a first two-dimensional shape intersecting the first point is received. A selection of a second point corresponding to a second position different from the first position along the wellbore is received. A three-dimensional volume containing a subset of the plurality of voxels of sensor data is generated. The three-dimensional volume is bound at least by the first point and the first two-dimensional shape at a first end and by the second point at a second end. The generated three-dimensional volume is rendered for output on a display.
