Schema highlights
gas_chromatography.csv — the Pixler (1969) hydrocarbon ratio
canonical formulation for mud-log gas typing:
wetness_ratio = (C2 + C3 + C4 + C5) / (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4 + C5) × 100 balance_ratio = C1 / (C2 + C3) character_ratio = (C4 + C5) / C3
These are the three ratios used by every commercial mud-logging service (Halliburton, SLB, Geoservices, Pason) to classify shows as dry gas / wet gas / condensate / oil. Sample wetness mean ~12 is in the wet-gas / oil- rich-gas Pixler zone (5-17.5); sample balance ~10 is in the light oil zone (1.5-100).
gas_readings.csv — basin-specific gas means with in-reservoir
amplification (1.65×) and overpressure amplification (1.28×), plus
log-normal noise. Background gas levels match the IADC mud-logging
convention (50-500 units typical, >500 anomalous).
pore_pressure_indicators.csv — implements the Jorden & Shirley
(1966) d-exponent overpressure detection method:
d = log(ROP/60·N) / log(12·WOB/10⁶·D) (corrected for mud weight)
Normal-compaction shale baseline is ~1.0-1.5; values decreasing with depth
indicate undercompacted shales and impending overpressure. Sample mean
d-exponent ~1.30 with downward deviations correlating with the
overpressure_flag column.
lithology_intervals.csv — 9-class lithology (shale, sandstone,
siltstone, limestone, dolomite, marl, anhydrite, volcanic, coal) drawn
from basin-conditioned probability mixes. Shale dominates at 36% reflecting
the modern unconventional-heavy global drilling portfolio.
drilling_events.csv — 10-class event taxonomy (normal drilling,
drilling break, connection gas, trip gas, lost circulation, kick precursor,
tight hole, differential sticking, sensor dropout, lag correction). Kick
precursors gated by (overpressure + gas > 220 + mud-weight underbalance);
drilling breaks gated by (hydrocarbon show + 38% draw rate).
Suggested use cases
- Pixler hydrocarbon-ratio classification ML — train classifiers on wetness / balance / character ratios → dry-gas / wet-gas / condensate / oil / no-show labels. Pixler crossplot zones are well-separated targets.
- Lithology identification from gas + chromatograph — multi-class
classifier on
lithology_label(9-class) from drilling mechanics + gas composition + cuttings fluorescence features. - Kick-risk early warning — binary classifier on
kick_risk_flagfrom upstream features (d-exponent decline, gas elevation, mud-weight underbalance). Sample has 1% positive rate matching IADC field statistics. - Pore-pressure regression — regress
pore_pressure_ppg_equivfrom d-exponent, shale density, depth, and drilling-mechanics features. - Hydrocarbon show detection — binary classifier on
hydrocarbon_show_flagfrom gas + fluorescence + lithology features. - Reservoir quality grading — multi-class classifier on
reservoir_quality(low/medium/high) from petrophysical and show-related features. - Drilling event classification — 10-class classifier on
drilling_event_typefrom time-series drilling-mechanics features. - Multi-table relational ML — entity-resolution and graph-based
learning across the 12 joinable tables via
well_idand depth.

Reproducibility
All generation is deterministic via the integer seed parameter (driving
random.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 mud-logging research, not for live drilling decisions. A few notes:
Long-tail lithology classes are under-represented at sample scale. Anhydrite (
0.9%), volcanic (1.4%), and coal (~0.3%) are rare classes that appear only when their parent basins are drawn. Full product (18,000 wells) gives sufficient samples for these rare classes; the sample provides only handful-of-rows demonstrations of the schema.All detail tables are co-resolved at the depth_step granularity (100 ft in the sample). Real mud-logging data has higher-frequency gas readings (1-5 ft intervals) and lower-frequency cuttings descriptions (5-30 ft intervals). The schema is the same; only the resolution differs. For high-frequency ML, use the full product with
--depth-step-ft 5.Anomaly injection rate is 3% (
anomaly_injection_rate=0.03) — gas units randomly multiplied by [0.25, 0.45, 1.9, 2.8] to simulate sensor dropouts and lag corrections. These appear as outliers ingas_readingsand can be filtered out viagas_chromatography.gas_quality_flag == 1.Hydrocarbon show rate (10%) and kick risk rate (1%) match aggregate IADC field statistics but are not stratified by basin. Per-basin show rates in real data range from 2-3% (Marcellus dry gas) to 25-30% (Pre-Salt carbonate plays). Future generator v1.1 will introduce basin-conditioned show priors.
Mud-log timeseries uses
mud_log_timeseries.csvas the canonical time-axis spine — all other tables (gas, lithology, cuttings, etc.) are indexed at the same depth grid for clean ML joins. This makes the tables more relational and less "time-series-y" than real MWD/LWD streams; treat the sample as depth-domain mud-log records, not time-domain telemetry.
