A method for, at least, forming a graph representation of physical samples and identifying clusters of the physical samples. The method includes obtaining a plurality of physical samples from one or more wells, where each sample is associated with spatial-temporal data, and determining geochemical data for each sample. The method further includes constructing a graph representation of the plurality of physical samples, where in the graph representation each sample is represented as a node and a presence of an edge between any two nodes is based on the spatial-temporal data of the plurality of physical samples. The method further includes determining a weight for every edge in the graph representation and processing the graph representation with a graph-based algorithm to determine one or more clusters. The method may further include determining a wellbore plan that comprises a planned wellbore path to penetrate a hydrocarbon reservoir based on the determined clusters.
