Abstract: Tops of geological layers can be automatically identified using machine-learning techniques as described herein. In one example, a system can receive well log records associated with wellbores drilled through geological layers. The system can generate well clusters by applying a clustering process to the well log records. The system can then obtain a respective set of training data associated with a well cluster, train a machine-learning model based on the respective set of training data, select a target well-log record associated with a target wellbore of the well cluster, and provide the target well-log record as input to the trained machine-learning model. Based on an output from the trained machine-learning model, the system can determine the geological tops of the geological layers in a region surrounding the target wellbore. The system may then transmit an electronic signal indicating the geological tops of the geological layers associated with the target wellbore.
