Method of identifying a productive interval along a well

A system comprising:

• a computer system configured to:
• receive well data along an interval of a well,
• wherein the well data comprises acoustic data and porosity data,
• identify a first candidate interval within the interval using, at least in part, the well data,
• wherein a formation surrounding the well within the first candidate interval comprises micropores,
• determine mechanical parameter data along the first candidate interval based, at least in part, on the acoustic data,
• identify a second candidate interval within the first candidate interval based, at least in part, on the mechanical parameter data and the porosity data,
• determine water saturation data along the second candidate interval based, at least in part, on the well data, and
• identify a productive interval within the second candidate interval based, at least in part, on the water saturation data and a water saturation threshold;
• and
• a production management system configured to:
• determine a completion plan for the well based, at least in part, on the productive interval.

A non-transitory computer-readable memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computer processor, perform steps comprising:

• receiving well data along an interval of a well,
• wherein the well data comprises acoustic data and porosity data;
• identifying a first candidate interval within the interval using, at least in part, the well data,
• wherein a formation surrounding the well within the first candidate interval comprises micropores;
• determining mechanical parameter data along the first candidate interval based, at least in part, on the acoustic data;
• identifying a second candidate interval within the first candidate interval based, at least in part, on the mechanical parameter data and the porosity data;
• determining water saturation data along the second candidate interval based, at least in part, on the well data;
• identifying a productive interval within the second candidate interval based, at least in part, on the water saturation data and a water saturation threshold;
• and
• determining a completion plan for the well based, at least in part, on the productive interval.
