Combining formation data and well log measurements for multiple wells in Python — When working with well log measurements and subsurface data we are often dealing with different file formats and sample rates. For instance, well log measurements are typically stored and transferred within .las files or dlis files and sampled every 0.1m or 0.5ft. Geological formation tops on the other hand are…

Improve the value you can deliver through developing soft skills — Data science is a rapidly growing field with the demand for data scientists projected to grow by 36% over the next decade according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. …

Building a Simple Neural Network with Scikit-Learn to Predict Well Log Measurements — Neural Networks are a popular (mostly) supervised machine learning algorithm. They can be used for modelling a variety of complicated tasks such as image processing, fraud detection, speech processing, and more. These algorithms can be applied to regression-based problems as well as classification-based problems.

A Short Guide on Adding Markers to a Folium Map in Python — Folium is a powerful Python library that makes it easy to visualise geospatial data. It utilises the power of Leaflet.js, which is popular and leading JavaScript library that can be used to create interactive maps that can be used across both desktop and mobile platforms. The library has been designed…

Reducing the Impacts of Garbage In Garbage Out on Machine Learning Models — Ensuring you have good data quality prior to running machine learning algorithms is a crucial step within the overall data science and machine learning workflow. The use of poor-quality data can lead to severe degradation in the results and have further consequences when decisions are made on…

Detecting Outliers Using Python’s Scikit-learn Library — Isolation Forest is a popular unsupervised machine learning algorithm for detecting anomalies (outliers) within datasets. Anomaly detection is a crucial part of any machine learning and data science workflow. …

Using your passion to build multiple revenue streams — Over the past few years, the popularity of earning money online whilst maintaining a full-time 9–5 job has grown considerably, especially during the pandemic years. Some lucky few have managed to make their side hustle their full-time job once they reached a certain goal. …

Simple and easy pieces of code to enhance your seaborn scatter plots — Seaborn is a popular python data visualisation library that is built on top of matplotlib. Even though matplotlib is one of the most popular data visualisation libraries it has a number of shortcomings. This includes requiring more code for creating advanced graphics. This is where seaborn comes in. It provides…

Convert raw well survey data to complete positional data with wellpathpy — Depth is an essential measurement when working with subsurface data. It is used to tie multiple sets of data to a single reference. There are numerous depth references used to identify a position within the subsurface. …
