10 Applications of Machine Learning Within Petrophysics Examples of machine learning to enhance your petrophysical workflow Photo by Dan Meyers on Unsplash Several decades of hydrocarbon exploration have led to the acquisition and storage of large quantities of well related measurements, which have been used to characterise the subsurface geology and its hydrocarbon potential. The potential…

Creating Boxplots Using Matplotlib in Python Understand your data distribution and identify outliers in petrophysics and well log data using boxplots Multiple boxplots with different y-axis ranges generated using matplotlib in python. Image by author. Boxplots are a great tool for data visualisation, they can be used to understand the distribution of your data, whether it is skewed…

Visualising Well Data Coverage Using Matplotlib Exploring where data is and where it isn’t Photo by Vilmos Heim on Unsplash Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is an integral part of Data Science. The same is true for the petrophysical domain and can often be referred to as the Log QC or data review stage of a project. It…

Thanks Tim. Interesting suggestion. Would you be suggesting appending the dataframes generated in the for loop to something like a pickle file? Would there be any memory issues holding that file open while all las files are being read and appended?

Using Line Plots from Matplotlib to Create Simple Log Plots of Well Log Data Visualising well log data versus depth using the matplotlib library from Python Well log plot created using the matplotlib Python library. Image by author. Introduction Well log plots are a common visualization tool within geoscience and petrophysics. They allow easy visualization of data (for…

Identification and Handling of Missing Well Log Data Prior to Petrophysical Machine Learning Part 2 in a series going from Exploratory Data Analysis to Machine Learning with Well Log Data Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence are becoming popular within the geoscience and petrophysics domains. Especially over the past decade. Machine learning is…
