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.

Sample run (seed 42, n_cores=500):

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.


Suggested use cases

  1. Porosity-permeability regression — train ML estimators of permeability from porosity + lithology + grain density using the 37,398-plug spine.
  2. Reservoir quality classification — multi-class classifier on reservoir_quality_grade (A/B/C/D) from petrophysical features.
  3. Pay zone identification — binary classification on pay_zone_flag from RCA + lithology + mineralogy features.
  4. SCAL surrogate models — predict Archie m/n, wettability index, and relperm endpoints from petrophysical and mineralogical inputs (multi- output regression).
  5. Hydrocarbon type prediction — 7-class classifier on hydrocarbon_type from basin, depth, and rock properties.
  6. Multi-table relational ML — entity-resolution and graph-based learning across the 11 joinable tables via core_id / plug_id.
  7. Mineralogy → petrophysics ML — predict porosity and permeability from XRD/XRF mineralogy (quartz/clay/carbonate/feldspar fractions).
  8. Geomechanical surrogates — predict Young's modulus, UCS, and brittleness from porosity + lithology for unconventional completion design.

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")
scal  = pd.read_csv("hf://datasets/xpertsystems/oil006-sample/special_core_analysis.csv")
joined = plugs.merge(rca, on="plug_id").merge(cores, on="core_id")

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 2.8% controlled anomaly injection is present in plug_measurements (anomaly_flag column) and routine_core_analysis (anomaly_flag column). 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.

  4. 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.
