Abstract

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. The computing device compares the modified wellbore path for the target well to one or more wellbore paths of one or more wells co-located with the target well in the target location. The computing device updates the modified wellbore path for the target well by adjusting one or more coordinates of the modified wellbore path based on the comparison. The computing device generates a three-dimensional model of the target location.
