Systems and methods for performing drilling operations in earth formations. The systems and methods include drilling a borehole within the earth formation, receiving data acquired within the borehole in the earth formation, analyzing the data to locate a plurality of data structures formed by the data, the plurality of data structures including a first structure at a first location and a second structure at a second location, projecting the first structure as a first geological projection intersecting the first location, and projecting the second structure as a second geological projection intersecting the second location, classifying the first geological projection and the second geological projection based on a hierarchy of geological feature types to generate a hierarchical classification, and adjusting one or more of the first geological projection and the second geological projection based on the hierarchical classification.

Creation of structural earth formation models

An apparatus and method for providing images of a downhole tool during drilling of a wellbore are provided. A sensor on a rotating tool occupies a number of azimuthal sectors of the wellbore which are determined by a processor. The processor determines a time during which the sensor is in each of the azimuthal sectors during each revolution of the tool and provides a depth-correlated image of the sector residence times for the tool.

Apparatus and method for generating sector residence time images of downhole tools

A method for imaging a subsurface material, the method including: receiving a first image of the subsurface material and a second image of the subsurface material, the first image displaying a first property of the subsurface material and the second image displaying a second property of the subsurface material wherein the first property is different from the second property; and combining the first image and the second image to create a combined image. A system and computer program product are also disclosed.
