Abstract:
A method for projecting borehole data obtained from a scan of a borehole wall onto a display surface using a video projector connected to a computer wherein said computer graphic image is projected onto a concave display surface and wherein said computer graphic image is derived from a set of borehole data, said method comprising:a) storing a set of 2D borehole data in a memory of said computer; b) creating a mathematical model for said concave display surface in said memory, wherein said mathematical model at least partially intersects said set of 2D borehole data in the memory; c) extracting borehole data from said set of 2D borehole data intersecting said mathematical model in said memory to provide an extracted data set; and d) projecting said extracted data set onto said concave display surface to produce a computer graphic image of spatially correct borehole data.
