Generating dynamic multi-distribution inversion models to facilitate wellbore operations

Abstract

A system can provide a dynamic multi-distribution model to facilitate a wellbore operation. For example, the system can receive, from a downhole tool deployed in a wellbore during a drilling operation, resistivity data for a geological formation associated with an interval of the wellbore. The system can further execute a resistivity inversion algorithm to generate distribution outputs of a resistivity inversion model using the resistivity data. Additionally, the system can select a section of each of the distribution outputs. Each section of each distribution output can correspond with a different segment of the interval of the wellbore. The system can then generate a dynamic multi-distribution model. The dynamic multi-distribution model can include the sections selected from each of the distribution outputs. The system can further output, by a user interface, the dynamic distribution output, which can be used to adjust the drilling operation.
