Abstract:
A method for estimating a property of an earth formation includes: obtaining a sample of rock; scanning the sample to determine internal rock damage; measuring a deformation parameter of the sample; constructing a mathematical model of the sample that replicates the determined and measured internal rock damage distribution; simulating the one or more tests using the mathematical model; obtaining a rock deformation parameter using the one or more simulated tests corresponding to the measured rock deformation parameter; comparing the rock deformation parameter obtained from the one or more simulated tests to the corresponding measured rock deformation parameter; adjusting parameters of the mathematical model based upon the rock parameter obtained from simulation not being within a selected range of the measured rock parameter; and providing the mathematical model as a verified mathematical model based upon the rock parameter obtained from simulation being within a selected range of the measured rock parameter.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for estimating a property of an earth formation, the method comprising:\n obtaining a sample of rock from the earth formation; scanning the sample with a volumetric imaging device to obtain a three-dimensional volume representation of the sample; determining internal rock damage of the sample using the three-dimensional volume representation of the sample; performing one or more tests on the sample using a rock test device; measuring a deformation parameter of the sample using a deformation sensor; constructing a mathematical model of the sample that replicates the determined and measured internal rock damage and damage distribution of the sample using artificial intelligence (AI), the mathematical model being an AI model; simulating the one or more tests using the mathematical model; obtaining a rock deformation parameter using the one or more simulated tests corresponding to the measured rock deformation parameter; comparing the rock deformation parameter obtained from the one or more simulated tests to the corresponding measured rock deformation parameter; adjusting parameters of the mathematical model based upon the rock parameter obtained from simulation not being within a selected range of the measured rock parameter; and providing the mathematical model as a verified mathematical model based upon the rock parameter obtained from simulation being within a selected range of the measured rock parameter; wherein the determining, constructing, obtaining a rock deformation parameter, comparing adjusting, and providing are performed using a processor.
