A method of performing a perforation operation is disclosed. The method involves generating a stress contrast distribution for each stage of a well based on drilling stress data and a stress log of the well, generating a stress association between the drilling stress data and the stress log, generating a new stress contrast distribution for each of the stages of a new well based on new wellsite data (new drilling stress data) and the stress association, generating a production forecast using the geometric completion (GC) design and a predicted production forecast based on the engineered completion (EC) design, comparing a cost of a new stress log of the new well with a change in revenue between the GC production forecast and the predicted production forecast, and selectively perforating the new well using either GC or EC design based on the comparing, whereby stress logging may be selectively performed.
