    Abstract: Distributing petrofacies using analytical modeling. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods including: creating, by a computer system, a geocellular model of an underground formation, the creating by: reading a first value of a first rock property associated with a first well log; associating the first value of the first rock property with a first cell of a plurality of cell of the geocellular model; assigning a value of the first rock property to each cell of the plurality of cells based on the first value and a datum of information, the datum of information distinct from the first value.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for modeling a three-dimensional (3D) geological structure to improve maximum continuity interpolation. An integration method describes local anisotropic effects and introduces interpolation techniques to perform the interpolation between two points of interest along a direction of maximum continuity and across fault surfaces.

    Abstract: Geomechanical parameters can be used to optimize a well configuration that includes one or more projected wells having locations and geometries. Formation data and regional stress information of a formation can be used to determine a local stress variation of the formation. A quality index can be generated by combining petrophysical properties with the local stress variation. Hydrocarbon recovery flow simulations can be generated by generating well configuration models based on the quality index, generating reservoir geomechanical model that includes hydraulic fracture propagation characteristics, determining new hydraulic fractures by simulating propagation through the reservoir geomechanical model and using geomechanical rules, and determining a projected hydrocarbon recovery rate by simulating flow with the new hydraulic fractures. A well placement plan can be selected using the projected hydrocarbon recovery rates. The well placement plan can be output to be used to plan one or more wellbores.
