Calibration: industry-anchored, honestly reported
Validation uses a 10-metric scorecard with targets sourced exclusively to named industry standards: API RP-40 (Recommended Practices for Core Analysis), Society of Core Analysts (SCA), SPWLA petrophysical conventions, Archie (1942), Anderson (1986) wettability survey (JPT), Kozeny-Carman, ASTM D934 (XRD), SPE Petroleum Engineering Handbook, SPE Geomechanics Handbook, and Chang et al. (2006) on E-UCS empirical correlation.

Schema highlights
plug_measurements.csv — the petrophysical spine, one row per plug.
Key columns: plug_id, core_id, plug_depth_ft, lithology
(6-class: clean_ss, shaly_ss, tight_ss, shale, carbonate, dolomite),
porosity_pct, permeability_md, grain_density_gcc, bulk_density_gcc.
Porosity-permeability follows a Kozeny-Carman-style relation per basin:
log(k) ≈ log(k_basin_mean) + 6.0·(φ − φ_basin_mean) + ε
with basin priors calibrated to industry-typical values: Permian Wolfcamp (φ̄ ≈ 8.5%, k̄ ≈ 0.08 mD), Marcellus (φ̄ ≈ 6.5%, k̄ ≈ 0.0003 mD), North Sea Sandstone (φ̄ ≈ 22%, k̄ ≈ 350 mD), GoM Deepwater (φ̄ ≈ 26%, k̄ ≈ 800 mD), Canadian Oil Sands (φ̄ ≈ 32%, k̄ ≈ 2500 mD), etc.
special_core_analysis.csv — Archie's law parameters per plug:
F = a / φᵐ (formation resistivity factor)
with a/m/n drawn from industry-typical ranges (a ≈ 1.0, m ≈ 1.95, n ≈ 2.0) matching the SPWLA conventions and the original Archie (1942) JPT paper.
xrd_xrf_analysis.csv — Dirichlet-sampled mineralogy guaranteeing
mass balance (quartz + feldspar + clay + carbonate = 100% per row), plus
clay sub-fractions (illite/smectite/kaolinite/chlorite), TOC, kerogen
type (I/II/II-S/III/IV), and vitrinite reflectance (oil window ~0.6-1.3%,
gas window >1.3%).
geomechanical_tests.csv — porosity-modulated elastic properties:
E_static ≈ 8e6 · (1 − 2.5·φ) + ε (psi) UCS ≈ E_static / 250 + ε (psi)
matching the Chang et al. (2006) empirical correlation for sedimentary rocks.

hydrocarbon_typefrom basin, depth, and rock properties. - Multi-table relational ML — entity-resolution and graph-based
learning across the 11 joinable tables via
core_id/plug_id. - Mineralogy → petrophysics ML — predict porosity and permeability from XRD/XRF mineralogy (quartz/clay/carbonate/feldspar fractions).

Loading
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("xpertsystems/oil006-sample", data_files="plug_measurements.csv")
print(ds["train"][0])
Or with pandas:
import pandas as pd
cores = pd.read_csv("hf://datasets/xpertsystems/oil006-sample/cores_master.csv")
plugs = pd.read_csv("hf://datasets/xpertsystems/oil006-sample/plug_measurements.csv")
rca = pd.read_csv("hf://datasets/xpertsystems/oil006-sample/routine_core_analysis.csv")

Reproducibility
All generation is deterministic via the integer seed parameter. The ID
conventions (CORE_{i:06d}, PLUG_{i:08d}, RCA_{i:08d}, etc.)
guarantee schema-stable joins across runs.
A seed sweep across [42, 7, 123, 2024, 99, 1] confirms Grade A+ on every
seed in this sample.
Honest disclosure of sample-scale limitations
This is a sample product calibrated for ML prototyping and core-analysis research, not for live drilling or completion decisions. A few notes:
Permeability is heavy-tailed. The lognormal Kozeny-Carman model produces realistic but right-skewed permeability distributions (sample p90 ≈ 1100 mD, median ≈ 0.3 mD). Use log-transformed permeability for statistical work and
np.log10(permeability_md + 1e-5)for correlation analyses to match the φ-k coefficient reported in the scorecard.Basin / lithology coverage at sample scale — at 500 cores, each basin has 29-79 cores. All 6 lithologies are present but tight_ss and dolomite are under-represented (~10% and ~6% of plugs respectively). Full product (25,000 cores) gives 2,000-4,000 cores per basin and converges all lithology distributions.
2.8% controlled anomaly injection is present in
plug_measurements(anomaly_flagcolumn) androutine_core_analysis(anomaly_flagcolumn). This simulates stress-relief microfractures inflating permeability (plug level, 2-10× multipliers) and measurement repeatability artifacts (RCA helium porosity, ±1.5% noise). Use these flags as QC training targets or filter them out for clean regression baselines.Wettability index is sampled with a global mean of -0.10 (mixed-to- slightly-oil-wet), not stratified by basin wettability prior. The v1.1 generator will introduce basin-stratified wettability sampling for tighter calibration.
