Manage your research, notes and academic references all in one place with Notion — Being an avid researcher with several scientific conference publications, a journal article and numerous Medium articles, I am often faced with mountains of scientific papers to read and review. Even though many researchers use Mendeley, Zotero and other research paper managers, these platforms are mainly aimed at keeping a list…

Quick and simple conversion process to create a LAS file from scratch using LASIO and CSV Data — Well log data can be delivered in a variety of formats (DLIS, LAS, CSV, ASC etc.). If you have a CSV file containing well log data, and you want to convert it to LAS format, you can use the LASIO library LAS files are a simple format. They are simple…

The best open source geoscience datasets for applying data science, machine learning and petrophysical techniques — For many years well logging and petrophysics datasets have remained locked up in oil and gas company servers or government servers and has only been accessible to those people who have the right access privileges. However, in recent years there has been a noticeable shift towards open data, which has…

Discover 6 great python libraries that you can start using today with well log data — One of the great things about Python is the vast number of open source libraries that have been developed to improve the way we work with data and make sense of it. …

Display Extra Information on your Plotly Express Scatter Plots — Scatter plots are a commonly used data visualisation tool within data science. They allow us to plot two numerical variables, as points, on a two dimensional graph. From these plots, we can understand if there is a relationship between the two variables, and what the strength of that relationship is. …

An Example of Creating Interactive Scatter Plots Using Well Log Data — Scatter plots allow us to plot two variables from a dataset and compare them. From these plots, we can understand if there is a relationship between the two variables, and what the strength of that relationship is. Within petrophysics scatter plots, are commonly known as crossplots. They are routinely used…

Creating 3D Line Plots Using Matplotlib to Visualize Well Trajectories — There are multiple depth references used within well logging to denote a position along the wellbore. These include measured depth (MD), true vertical depth (TVD), true vertical depth subsea (TVDSS) etc. All of which are critical measurements for the successful development and completion of a well.

Identification of outliers is an essential step in the machine learning workflow — Outliers are anomalous points within a dataset. They are points that don’t fit within the normal or expected statistical distribution of the dataset and can occur for a variety of reasons such as sensor and measurement errors, poor data sampling techniques, and unexpected events. Within well log measurements and petrophysics…

Part 2 in a series going from Exploratory Data Analysis to Machine Learning with Well Log Data — Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence are becoming popular within the geoscience and petrophysics domains. Especially over the past decade. Machine learning is a subdivision of Artificial Intelligence and is the process by which computers can learn and make predictions from data without being explicitly programmed to do so. …
