INRODUCION We presen a new sascal ehod of denfyng lhologes relyng on wrelne log easureens ade on wo holes fro he french se of arcoule. Snce several years, sascal echnques have appeared as a powerful ool o classfy coplex and heerogeneous reservor lhology: ulvarae Sascs [Doveon (994], Dscrnan Analyss [Busch (987] and, ore recenly, Neural Neworks have been appled o hs proble.

Also, Self-Organzng aps have been used o reconsruc he lhologc faces of a drllng hole [Frayssne (2000, Anouar (997]. he goal of hs sudy s o denfy lhologes fro logs, relyng on nforaon abou rocks porosy and pereably. o hs end, we propose an orgnal approach based on Hdden arkov odels (Hs. Indeed, we consder a log sere of a drllng hole as a sequence of easures, and propose o odel n he sascal fraework gven by Hs. he reason s ha, n hs way, we can ake no accoun conexual dependences beween easures ade a dfferen levels of he drllng hole, whle perforng lhology denfcaon.

In hs fraework, conexual nforaon ay be of porance o prove classfcaon a a gven level. Hs are ndeed wellknown sascal odels n oher applcave areas (lke speech recognon, on-lne handwrng recognon, ec... hey appear o be a powerful ool o explo conexual nforaon when perforng classfcaon locally n a sequence of observaons. In such applcaons, he sgnal s eporal and non saonary; he conex of a sngle observaon brngs nforaon abou he evoluon of he sgnal n e.

H FOR LIHOLOGY IDENIFICAION 2. he applcave conex: he arcoule se he arcoule se s n he souh of France, n he Gard area, near Bagnols-sur-Cèze. A hundred llon years ago, hs se was covered by an ocean and asde he ounans of he assf Cenral. I s why he subsol s coposed of boh faces of connenal orgn (resulng fro eroson of he crsalln foraons of he assf Cenral and of arne orgn. he subsol s ade of clayey and sandy sedenal seres, whch have been deposed a Creaceous. Daa coe fro wo drllng holes, naed AR402 and AR203. he profle of he arcoule se shows a l of he sol beween hese wo holes; because of hs l, he faces encounered n AR203 are encounered n he nferor half of he well AR402. For ha reason, AR402 s n fac ore coplee han AR203 fro a geologcal pon of vew: soe faces presen n AR402 are absen of AR203. hs s an poran fac n our sudy. Also, core daa fro holes s only avalable a ceran levels of he holes. For hs reason, we use labels resulng fro a prevous research work obaned wh a Kohonen ap on he arcoule se [Frayssne (2000]. AR203 s drlled unl 89 s and AR402 unl 530 s. We use hree logs ha are PEF (phooelecrc effec, RHOB (relave densy n gr/c3, and GR (Gaa-Ray n API nubers. In he drllng, he easures are aken every half-foo (5.24 c. Neverheless, he sudy of sgnals shows ha her vercal resoluon s raher of around 50 cs. In he drllng hole AR203, we have 5590 easures' levels, and n AR402, 9962 easures' levels.
