Abstract
Some implementations include a method for identifying movement of a plug in a borehole of a well. The method may include obtaining, via one or more pressure sensors, pressure data indicating pressures in the borehole during stages of hydraulic fracturing; obtaining well data indicating one or more well geometries and treatment data indicating one or more treatments for hydraulic fracturing; extracting, via a plug movement detector, pressure-related features from the drilling data, well-related features from the well data, and treatment-related features from the treatment data; and outputting, by the plug movement detector, an indication whether the plug moved in the borehole based on the pressure-related features, well-related features, and treatment-related features.
