Modeling textural parameters of a formation with downhole measurements

Abstract

A method includes obtaining a dielectric measurement of a portion of a downhole formation. The method also includes processing the dielectric measurement via a trained machine learning system. The method further includes determining at least one of a classification or a textural parameter simultaneously with formation water saturation of the downhole formation, via the machine learning system, based at least in part on the dielectric measurement. The machine learning system is based on a pre-determined dataset from previous measurements or simulated results of synthetic cases. The method determining the correlation between water saturation and formation texture through a frequency cascading training process based on sensitivity of complex dielectric spectrum with respect to desired parameters including water saturation and texture parameter. The method also includes assigning at least one of the classification or the textural parameter to the downhole formation.
