What is it about?

This paper proposes a machine learning-based methodology to identify geomechanical parameters of minifrac tests. This methodology integrates artificial intelligence techniques to match borehole pressure curves. In this context, the genetic algorithm minimizes the error between the observed and the predicted data. Moreover, a gradient boosting machine is adopted to build a surrogate model
