Schemes for improving efficiency of pixel-based inversion algorithms for electromagnetic logging- while-drilling measurements

چکیده
We present an application of the two-and-half dimensional (2.5D) multiplicative-regularized Gauss-Newton inversion method for the interpretation of the directional resistivity measurements [electromagnetic logging-while-drilling (LWD) measurements]. In this work, an inversion algorithm is employed for obtaining a two-dimensional (2D) resistivity distribution (pixel-based) of the subsurface. Several modifications on both forward and inversion algorithms have been implemented to minimize the computational time and memory usage as well as to improve the accuracy of the algorithms. Numerical examples demonstrate the feasibility of using this 2.5D pixel-based inversion algorithm for electromagnetic LWD data.

Two-Dimensional High-Accuracy Simulation of Resistivity Logging-While-Drilling (LWD) Measurements Using a Self-Adaptive Goal-Oriented hp Finite Element Method
We simulate electromagnetic (EM) measurements acquired with a logging-while-drilling (LWD) instrument in a borehole environment. The measurements are used to assess electrical properties of rock formations. Logging instruments as well as rock formation properties are assumed to exhibit axial symmetry around the axis of a vertical borehole. The simulations are performed with a self-adaptive goal...

This paper presents two meta-heuristic algorithms to solve an extended portfolio selection model. The extended model is based on the Markowitz's Model, aiming to minimize investment risk in a specified level of return. In order to get the Markowitz model close to the real conditions, different constraints were embedded on the model which resulted in a discrete and non-convex solution space. ...
