Abstract:
A subsurface representation may define simulated subsurface configuration of a simulated subsurface region. The simulated subsurface region may include simulated wells, and the simulated subsurface configuration may define simulated correlation between the simulated wells. Subsurface configuration of wells may be compared with the simulated subsurface configuration to generate similarity maps for the wells. The similarity maps may be arranged based on spatial arrangements of the wells such that the similarity maps overlap with each other within an overlap area. Locations within the overlap area may correspond to groupings of matched simulated wells. Correlation between the wells may be determined based on the simulated correlation between the matched simulated wells.
