Description

This course will provide all methodologies and practical application of machine learning for prediction of well logging and petrophysical properties.

A lot of wells in your field or basin don’t have sonic, neutron or density and these logs are essential for well logging and petrophysical interpretation so machine learning is the solution to predict these logs for your petrophysical and geological studies.

Core data is always not acquired in all the wells, for example permeability and irreducible water saturation are important parameters for static modelling and petrophysical studies, machine learning will provide a way to predict these logs in your field.

Machine learning became essential for any petrophysical and reservoir characterization studies including rock typing, saturation height modelling, rock physics, core log integration, and facies analysis.

Course Description

Introduction


Machine learning offers powerful tools for advancing traditional methods in well logging and petrophysical interpretation. In this course, participants will delve into the applications of machine learning within petrophysics, learning to process, analyze, and interpret well log data with advanced data science methods. Practical sessions and real-world case studies will support attendees in gaining essential skills for accurate reservoir characterization, predictive analysis, and decision-making in the oil and gas industry.

Objectives


·        Understand basic pythons.

·        Understand different machine learning algorithms.

·        Use machine learning (regression) algorithms to predict different petrophysical properties (permeability, FZI, irreducible water saturation, cementation exponent and initial water saturation) by using software, excel and python.

Training Methodology


This course utilizes a blend of interactive lectures, hands-on exercises, and case study discussions.
