Systems and methods for application of statistical classification and pattern recognition for compartment design in horizontal oil wells. One embodiment includes a drill for drilling a target well and a computing device that includes a memory component that stores logic that causes the computing device to receive an input parameter for the target well, perform a log transformation on the permeability log to create transformed data, and calculate a mean and a standard deviation of the transformed data. Some embodiments generate a classification flag that classifies the permeability log, based on the standard deviation, classify noise from the permeability log, and transform the noise based on a predefined pattern library. Some embodiments create a final transformed signal from the classification flag and the noise and generate a compartment design from the final transformed signal that provides recommended compartment intervals versus measured depth of the target well.
