Original Abstract Submitted

One or more embodiments described herein can relate to systems and methods for automatically performing one or more well trajectory data consistency checks and/or well perforation event consistency checks. For example, one or more embodiments can include a system that can comprise memory to store computer executable instructions. The system can also comprise one or more processors, operatively coupled to the memory, that execute the computer executable instructions to implement a well trajectory evaluator configured to validate well trajectory data for a subsurface reservoir simulation model by comparing a difference between sets of deviation survey data to a defined trajectory tolerance. The one or more processors can also execute the computer executable instructions to implement a perforation event analyzer configured to validate well attribute data for the subsurface reservoir simulation model via conditional logic that analyzes the position of a perforation event along a well trajectory in relation to a targeted geographical zone.
