Abstract
Systems, methods, and software can be used for identifying fracable areas. One example of a method includes receiving at least one of 3D petrophysical property and 3D geo-mechanical property in one or more areas. The method further includes receiving a model generating at least one hydraulic fracture parameter in a wellbore in the one or more areas. The method yet further includes training a machine learning model with at least one of the 3D petrophysical property and the 3D geo-mechanical property and the at least one hydraulic fracture parameter, and generating a fracability index for the wellbore based on the trained machine learning model.
