Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: obtaining, by a computer system, data regarding a trajectory of a wellbore; obtaining, by the computer system, a first data set related to a first physical parameter of a formation penetrated by the wellbore, the first data set including values of the first physical parameter of the formation along the trajectory of the wellbore; obtaining, by the computer system, a second data set related to a second physical parameter of the formation that is distinct from the first physical parameter, the second data set including values of the second physical parameter of the formation along the trajectory of the wellbore; displaying on a display device of the computer system a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional trajectory of the wellbore from a viewpoint relative to the three-dimensional trajectory of the wellbore; displaying a mathematical curve representing the values of the first physical parameter of the formation along the trajectory of the wellbore, based on the first data set, wherein the displayed mathematical curve is a two-dimensional representation of the first data set on a first surface that extends along and abuts the displayed two-dimensional representation of the three-dimensional trajectory of the wellbore on the display device such that the first surface has consistent orientation relative to the trajectory of the wellbore, and a relative distance of the mathematical curve from the two-dimensional representation of the three-dimensional trajectory of the wellbore represents a relative magnitude of each of the respective values of the first physical parameter of the formation along the trajectory of the wellbore; setting a color attribute of pixels on the display device between the two-dimensional representation of the three-dimensional trajectory of the wellbore and the mathematical curve based on the relative magnitude of the first physical parameter of the formation; and displaying a two-dimensional representation of the second data set on a second surface that is distinct from first surface and that extends along and abuts the displayed two-dimensional representation of the three-dimensional trajectory of the wellbore on the display device such that the second surface has consistent orientation relative to the trajectory of the wellbore.
