Schema highlights
actual_trajectory.csv — the surveyed trajectory spine, one row per
station per well. Computed via the minimum-curvature method (Bourgoyne
et al., 1986; API/SPE industry standard):
Δnorth = ΔMD/2 · (sin(I₁)·cos(A₁) + sin(I₂)·cos(A₂)) · RF Δeast = ΔMD/2 · (sin(I₁)·sin(A₁) + sin(I₂)·sin(A₂)) · RF Δtvd = ΔMD/2 · (cos(I₁) + cos(I₂)) · RF
where RF is the dogleg ratio factor RF = (2/β)·tan(β/2) and β is the
dogleg angle between consecutive station vectors. This is the same math
used by Compass, Landmark, SLB DDS, and every commercial survey-calculation
package.
drilling_sections.csv classifies each station as Vertical
(MD < kickoff), Build (kickoff ≤ MD < build-end), or Lateral
(MD ≥ build-end). DLS distributions are section-aware:
| Section | DLS μ | DLS σ |
|---|---|---|
| Vertical | 2.7 | 0.55 |
| Build | 3.9 | 0.65 |
| Lateral | 3.05 | 0.55 |
collision_monitoring.csv uses the IADC separation factor
convention (target SF > 3.0, alarm SF < 1.5) with a mean ~4.7 — typical
for mature basins with established offset-well drilling history.
survey_uncertainty.csv ellipse axes follow ISCWSA error model
conventions for MWD-surveyed wells (Williamson 2000, SPE 90408): major
axis 5–18 ft, minor axis 2–9 ft, covariance index 0.88–0.98.
bha_directional_data.csv distinguishes rotary-steerable systems
(RSS, ~58%) from positive-displacement-motor (PDM) BHAs via the
rss_flag column, matching the modern industry mix where RSS dominates
long-lateral and ERD wells.
Suggested use cases
- Trajectory anomaly detection — flag stations where DLS exceeds section-specific envelopes using ML on the 30,605-row station- resolution spine.
- Geosteering target-hit prediction — binary classifier on
target_hit_flag(whether the lateral landed in the target zone) from BHA + trajectory + geosteering features. - Anti-collision risk scoring — regress
collision_risk_flagandseparation_factorfrom trajectory and offset-well features. - Survey QC ML — predict
qc_score,magnetic_interference_flag, andgyro_discrepancy_flagfrom station-resolution trajectory data to triage surveys for human review. - Planned-vs-actual delivery analytics — quantify drilling delivery accuracy by regressing the inclination/azimuth/TVD delta between planned and actual at each station.
- Section classification — multi-class classifier on
section_type(Vertical/Build/Lateral) from trajectory shape features for automated well section segmentation. - Torque-drag prediction — regress torque and drag from trajectory complexity (DLS, inclination profile) and BHA features.
- Multi-table relational ML — entity-resolution and graph-based
learning across the 11 joinable tables via
well_idandsurvey_id.

Reproducibility
All generation is deterministic via the integer seed parameter (seeds
both random.seed() and np.random.seed()). 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 trajectory research, not for live well planning. A few notes:
Global-mean inclination is structurally lower than the generator's 72° target. The generator's section composition (~19% Vertical + ~21% Build + ~60% Lateral) mathematically averages to ~64° — Vertical at 4°, Build at 47°, Lateral at 88.5° — even though each individual section is correctly modeled. The scorecard validates the lateral- section inclination (88.5°, on target) and lateral section fraction (60%, on target) directly, which are the operationally meaningful quantities. Future generator v1.2 will rebalance section weights to bring the global mean closer to 72° per the file header intent.
Each station has an aligned row across all 11 tables — the per-station tables (planned/actual/geosteering/collision/uncertainty/ sections/BHA/torque/QC/labels) are joinable by both
well_idand station index. This is convenient for ML but slightly over-coupled relative to real-world data where uncertainty, BHA, and QC are typically sparser than the trajectory itself.Offset-well IDs in
collision_monitoring.csvare synthetic — theoffset_well_idfield samples from a 10,000-well synthetic pool independently per station, so the same offset well will not appear in multiple collision rows. For graph-based anti-collision ML, treat each row as an independent (well, offset_well) pair rather than as evidence of shared offset structure.Section spacing is uniform at 100 ft in the sample. Real surveys are sparser in vertical sections (200-500 ft) and denser through build (50-100 ft). Future generator v1.2 will introduce non-uniform station spacing.
Anomaly rate is 1.5% (
anomaly_rate=0.015) injected as randomly-elevated DLS values. This is a controlled noise channel for QC model training; filterqc_score < 0.95to remove the noisy stations.
