Abstract
Methods and systems for determining well productivity include acquiring measurement data from a plurality of in-situ sensors located within a hydraulically fractured subterranean formation; classifying the noise degree for sensors of the plurality based on the acquired measurement data; selecting sensors from the plurality by minimizing noise degree while maintaining coverage of the subterranean formation above a user defined threshold; extracting data from the selected sensors; and estimating fracture half-length and well productivity potential based on the extracted data.
