Utah FORGE 2439: Machine Learning for Well 16A(78)-32 Stress Predictions - September 2023 Report

Published by Battelle Memorial Institute | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-08-22T17:09:02Z
This task completion report documents the development and implementation of machine learning (ML) models for the prediction of in-situ vertical (Sv), minimum horizontal (SHmin) and maximum horizontal (SHmax) stresses in well 16A(78)-32. The detailed description of the experimental work was documented in a previous task report, which is linked below as "December 2022 Report". This 2023 task competition follows the accomplishments outlined the June 2023 report (also linked below), which elaborated the ML model development and validation strategy comprehensively. At this stage, prediction performances of ML models are further improved and implemented carefully for the estimation of in-situ stresses (i.e., Sv, SHmin, and SHmax over the depth ranging from 5000 to 6000 feet in the well 16A(78)-32). A comparison between ML-based and field-based stresses reflected the excellent harmony in terms of nominal errors at the sampling depths.
