A method for identifying fractures within a geological formation is provided. The method includes obtaining a plurality of images from within a first well located within the geological formation, wherein at least one image of the plurality of images comprises an identified fracture in the geological formation, obtaining a first mudlogging dataset associated with the plurality of images, correlating one or more helium measurements from the first mudlogging dataset with each image of the plurality of images via a machine learning engine to train a machine learning model to obtained a trained machine learning model, obtaining, by the trained machine learning model, a second mudlogging dataset associated with an interval of a second well, and determining a presence of one or more fractures in the interval of the second well by the machine learning model based on helium content determined from the second mudlogging dataset.
