  • Patent number: 11708754
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein include a system for generating a drainage radius log per well that includes a computing device that receives well data associated with a plurality of wells, utilizes the well production data to calculate a value for cumulative liquid produced by each of the plurality of wells for a predetermined time period, and utilizes at least a portion of the well data to calculate a fractional contribution for each of the plurality of wells. In some embodiments the computing device utilizes the value for cumulative liquid produced for each of the plurality of wells and the fractional contribution to calculate a cumulative liquid production for each of the plurality of wells, utilizes the cumulative liquid production to calculate the drainage radius log for each of the plurality of wells, and outputs the drainage radius log for display.
