The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for dynamically utilizing offset drill-well data generated within a threshold geographic area to determine formation-top trends and identify formation-top depths at a subject drill-well site. To do so, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems estimate a variogram for observed formation-top depths of a subset of offset drill-wells, and, in turn, map a predicted response from the estimated variogram. For example, using weighted combinations (e.g., with Kriging weights) of the formation-top depths of the subset of offset drill-wells, the disclosed systems can map a continuous surface of a formation and identify a top-depth thereof. Moreover, the disclosed system can do so for multiple formations at the subject drill-well site, and (in real-time in response to a user input) provide for display at a client device, the associated formation-top depths, various predicted drilling events and/or predicted drilling metrics.
