Abstract:
A method for identifying a resource in a field using historic well data including vertical well logs for the resource and historic horizontal well production data for the resource, the method including extracting a plurality of features from the vertical well logs, performing a spatial interpolation of the plurality of features extracted from the vertical well logs onto coordinates of the horizontal well production data to determine a plurality of interpolated features, and building a model predicting production of the resource in the field by regressing the horizontal well production data onto the interpolated features, wherein the model is displayed as a visualization of the resource production predicted in the field.
