Abstract
A system and method of evaluating a subterranean earth formation using a statistical distribution of formation data. The system comprises a logging tool and a processor in communication with the logging tool. The logging tool comprises a sensor operable to measure formation data and is locatable in a wellbore intersecting the subterranean earth formation. The processor is operable to calculate inversion solutions to the formation data, wherein each inversion solution comprises values for a parameter of the formation, and generate a statistical distribution of the parameter along one or more depths in the subterranean earth formation using the inversion solutions. The processor is also operable to identify peaks within the statistical distribution and select the inversion solutions corresponding to the identified peaks, generate a formation model using the selected inversion solutions; and evaluate the formation using the formation model to identify formation layers for producing a formation fluid.
