EP 31 · Benchmarking Operator Performance in the Williston Basin using a Predictive Machine Learning Model
from The Novi AI Roundup · host Novi Labs
How do you separate operator skill from rock quality? In this episode of The Novi AI Roundup, we explore how predictive machine learning models are being used to benchmark operator performance in the Williston Basin. Drawing from the technical paper “Benchmarking Operator Performance in the Williston Basin using a Predictive Machine Learning Model”, we examine how ML normalizes for geology, spacing, and development conditions to uncover the true drivers of well performance, and why apples-to-apples benchmarking matters in mature unconventional plays.This podcast episode is based on the technical paper “Benchmarking Operator Performance in the Williston Basin using a Predictive Machine Learning Model”, authors: D. Niederhut, K. Crifasi, K. Darnell, K. Sathaye, T. Cross. Download the full paper here.
