    Abstract: A method uses multiaxial electromagnetic measurements corresponding to measurements made along two mutually orthogonal axes perpendicular to and parallel to an axis of a wellbore corresponding to at least one receiver spacing from a transmitter. An initial orientation of a fracture with respect to the axis of the wellbore and a distance from the fracture are calculated using the multiaxial electromagnetic measurements. An initial model of subsurface formations is made using the initial orientation, distance and formation resistivity adjacent the fracture. An expected response of an electromagnetic instrument to the initial model is generated. The expected response is compared to measurements made by the electromagnetic instrument and a parameter of the initial model is adjusted. The expected response is repeated and the model adjusted until a difference between the expected response and the measurements either (i) falls below a selected threshold or (ii) exceeds a predetermined number of repetitions.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program product may utilize a stratigraphic implicit function, e.g., as used in connection with volume based modeling, to generate structural information for a subsurface formation. In particular, structural information for a subsurface formation may be generated by determining a location in a volume of interest in the subsurface formation from subsurface formation data associated with the subsurface formation, accessing a numerical model having a monotonously varying stratigraphic implicit function defined within the volume of interest to determine a value of the stratigraphic implicit function corresponding to the determined location, and generating at least one structural element for the subsurface formation from the stratigraphic implicit function of the numerical model based upon a spatial distribution of the determined value within the volume of interest.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of determining a relation between a resistivity logging tool and casing in an earth formation. The method includes acquiring coupling voltages for different tool face angles, between different antenna components of different axes of a transmitting station transmitting into the earth formation and different antenna components of different axes of a receiving station receiving from the formation, using the resistivity logging tool. Then, spatial Fourier coefficients are extracted from the coupling voltages, using a computing device associated with the resistivity logging tool. The relation between the resistivity logging tool and the casing is then determined as a function of the spatial Fourier coefficients and at least one resistivity measurement of the earth formation, using the computing device.

    Abstract: A technique facilitates transfer of signals during a tubing hanger deployment operation. A tubing hanger is provided with a coupling region for engagement with a corresponding tubing hanger running tool. Additionally, the tubing hanger comprises a communication coupling portion which is configured for engagement with a corresponding communication portion of the tubing hanger running tool. A communication line is routed from the communication coupling portion downhole to, for example, a sensor or other device. The communication coupling portion enables communication of signals across the tubing hanger and the tubing hanger running tool.
