“…The IDW method is also widely used in various research areas (Achilleos, 2011;Al-Hassan & Adjei, 2015;Moeletsi et al, 2016;Tunçay et al, 2016;Ikechukwu et al, 2017;Maleika, 2020;Liu et al, 2021). In petroleum geology, IDW is used to map a small set of geological variables in the area of the Croatian Pannonian Basin System (CPBS), which has proven to be a reliable interpolation method (Ivšinović, 2018a;Malvić et al, 2019;Malvić et al, 2020;Ivšinović & Malvić, 2020). Also, this could be often applied method in mapping of hydrocarbon reservoirs worldwide (Wenli et al, 2021;Liu et al, 2020;Otchere et al, 2021) or subsurface resource in general (Busygin et al, 2019).…”
