Abstract
A method can include receiving resistivity data acquired by a downhole tool of a drillstring disposed at least in part in a borehole in a subsurface environment, where the borehole includes a downhole end, and where the borehole defines a borehole axis; generating synthetic resistivity data for a region of the subsurface environment beyond the downhole end of the borehole, where the generating synthetic resistivity includes using at least a portion of the resistivity data; receiving seismic data for the subsurface environment, where the seismic data include spatial locations; inverting at least a portion of the resistivity data, at least a portion of the synthetic resistivity data, and at least a portion of the seismic data to estimate values for a number of physical properties of a portion of the subsurface environment that includes at least a portion of the region of the subsurface environment beyond the downhole end of the borehole; and controlling the drillstring using at least a portion of the values.
