Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for estimating reservoir productivity values that maximize reservoir productivity of a refined well design corresponding to a reservoir productivity parameter. A computer-implemented method may use a computer system that includes non-transient electronic storage, a graphical user interface, and one or more physical computer processors. The computer-implemented method may include: obtaining multiple limited production parameter values, obtaining multiple refined well designs, obtaining a productivity algorithm that predicts a reservoir productivity based on a production parameter and a well design, and generating multiple refined reservoir productivity values as a function of position in the subsurface volume of interest by applying the multiple refined well designs and the multiple limited production parameter values to the productivity algorithm.
