Publication number: 20250075561Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a method and a system to generate well trajectories. A computing device receives one or more parameters associated with a target well in a target location. The computing device receives two or more data points for the target well in the target location. The computing device generates a modified wellbore path based on the one or more parameters associated with a target well and the two or more data points via a trained wellbore prediction model.
