Abstract

The disclosure presents processes to generate look ahead data to guide borehole operations, such as drilling operations. The processes can array collected resistivity data around a representation of an active borehole. The array can be in various patterns, such as an interleaved helix pattern. Each slice of data from the collected resistivity data can be positioned and oriented corresponding to the central point depth parameter for each slice of data. A selection of one or more card views can be enabled to display details of the collected resistivity data corresponding to the selected slice of data. An analysis of the resistivity data can generate an identification of a boundary, such as an object or a subterranean formation change, in the subterranean formation look ahead portion of the active borehole. The boundary identification can be used as inputs to a borehole operation plan or to a geo-steering system.
