/Geologic Pore System Characterization Framework
Abstract

A method may include acquiring NMR data and sonic data for a borehole in a subsurface geologic region; inverting the NMR data and the sonic data to determine volume fractions for a number of classes of pore types, where the classes include shape and size-based classes; and characterizing the subsurface geologic region based on the volume fractions for the number of classes.
