1. A method of conducting drilling operations, the method comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of measurements indicative of a property of an earth formation in a 2-D model;
processing the plurality of measurements in the 2-D model and obtaining a 3-D model of the earth formation; and
conducting drilling operations with a bottom hole assembly (BHA) using the 3-D model.
