A system and method that include receiving offset well data collected from an offset well, wherein the offset well data comprises data representing a trajectory of an offset. The system and method also include receiving subject well data comprising a trajectory of at least a portion of a subject. The system and method additionally include determining a similarity value between the trajectory of the offset well and the subject well. The system and method also include selecting at least one offset well for offset well analysis based on the similarity value. The system and method further include adjusting at least one parameter of the subject well based on the offset well analysis.

Offset well analysis using well trajectory similarity

A method for offset well analysis includes receiving offset well data collected from an offset well, the offset well data including data representing a trajectory of an offset well, receiving subject well data comprising a trajectory of at least a portion of a subject well, partitioning the trajectory of the offset well into a plurality of offset well segments, partitioning the trajectory of the subject well into a plurality of subject well segments, determining a distance between at least some of the plurality of offset well segments and at least some of the plurality of subject well segments, selecting the offset well based in part on the distance, and performing an offset well analysis using the offset well and the subject well.
