This invention belongs to the field of paleogeographic restoration technology in geological exploration, and discloses a method and system for river paleoslope restoration based on the combined use of well and seismic data. The method determines the underwater specific gravity based on sediment mineral composition; determines the ratio of surface friction shear velocity to particle settling velocity based on median grain size; calculates dimensionless grain size, settling velocity, and particle Reynolds number based on grain density, fluid density, grain diameter, and kinematic viscosity; obtains the point dam thickness from well logging curves, and obtains the initial full-bank depth after decompaction correction; obtains the paleochannel width from seismic data, corrects the initial full-bank depth, and obtains the full-bank depth of the river channel; and calculates the river paleoslope based on underwater specific gravity, median grain size, full-bank depth of the river channel, the aforementioned ratio, and dimensionless parameters. This invention achieves quantitative calculation of deep-time river paleoslope, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the assessment, and solving the problems of traditional methods relying on qualitative reconstruction, difficulty in data acquisition, and high computational costs.

Techniques for determining a geologic property of a rock sample include (i) measuring, using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), a volume of a fluid retained within a solid matrix of a processed rock sample; (ii) measuring, using a gas porosimeter, a volume of gas space of the processed rock sample; (iii) measuring, with an Archimedes assembly, a first mass value in air of the processed rock sample and a second mass value in a liquid of the processed rock sample; and (iv) determining, based at least on the measured volume of the fluid, the measured volume of the gas space, and the measured first and second mass values, at least one of a bulk volume, a bulk density, a grain density, or a porosity of the processed rock sample.

Methods and systems for updating a well plan for a planned well using a hyperspectral image of a well core obtained from the planned well. The method includes determining a distribution of mineral abundances for a plurality of minerals across the well core using the hyperspectral image and determining an image-derived distribution of grain density from the distribution of mineral abundances. The method further includes calibrating the image-derived distribution of grain density to obtain a calibrated distribution of grain density and determining a vertical profile of grain density across the well core using the calibrated distribution of grain density. In addition, the method includes determining a total porosity of the planned well using the vertical profile of grain density and updating using a well planning system, a portion of the planned well based on the total porosity.
