Abstract
Methods for determining a rock testability index (RTI) include receiving petrophysical data of a geological formation at a particular rate. The petrophysical data is measured at each depth of a plurality of depths from a surface of the Earth. For each depth of the plurality of depths, an RTI is determined for the geological formation. The RTI indicates a probability of success for performing a hydrocarbon fluid formation test at each depth. The RTI is generated by normalizing a rock type of the geological formation. The RTI is adjusted based on a correspondence of the petrophysical data to hydrocarbon productivity. A display device generates a visual representation of the RTI at the particular rate. The visual representation indicates a potential hydrocarbon productivity of the geological formation.
