Schema highlights

daily_production.csv — the production spine, one row per well per day. The oil-rate model is Arps (1945) hyperbolic decline modulated by operational factors:

q(t) = qi / (1 + b·di·t)^(1/b) — Arps hyperbolic oil_rate = q(t) × seasonal × noise × uptime × lift_factor

The decline-curve fidelity is high: at sample scale, the mean absolute relative error between actual rates and pure-Arps predictions on anomaly- free days is ~6%, with the residual driven by lift degradation (built-in) and operational noise (1.5% std). The full Arps physics is preserved well-by-well — see the scorecard for the explicit fidelity check.

reservoir_pressure.csv — biweekly pressure tests with realistic drawdown modeling:

reservoir_pressure(d) = p0 × (1 − 0.22 × d/sim_days) + N(0, 45) bhfp = reservoir_pressure − U(250, 1700) drawdown = reservoir_pressure − bhfp

Pressure-test quality follows the A/B/C grading convention common in production engineering (40% A, 40% B, 20% C).

artificial_lift.csv — weekly performance per lift type. ESP wells get full instrumentation (ESP frequency Hz, pump efficiency, motor temperature F, vibration index); rod pump / PCP / gas lift / plunger get pump efficiency + vibration only. ESP frequency centered at 52 Hz per API/SPE 174021 ESP operating-range guidance.

production_labels.csv — monthly ML labels with 6-class forecast classification:

Class Trigger
stable oil_rate ≥ 0.60 × qi AND wc ≤ 62%
moderate_decline oil_rate < 0.60 × qi
workover_candidate oil_rate < 0.35 × qi OR wc > 62%
water_breakthrough wc > 75%
lift_limited non-natural-flow AND uptime < 78%
steep_decline oil_rate < 0.20 × qi at early time

Plus four binary flags: workover_candidate_flag, water_breakthrough_flag, steep_decline_flag, lift_limited_flag.

production_allocations.csv — per-well multi-zone allocation using Dirichlet sampling over 1-4 zones; per-well percentages sum to exactly 100%. Allocation methods follow standard production engineering practice: test separator / production logging / model based / commingled estimate (weighted equally).

flow_assurance_events.csv — 6-class flow assurance taxonomy aligned with NACE corrosion standards + SPE flow assurance literature: scale / paraffin / hydrate / sand / emulsion / corrosion. Per-event domain-specific risk indices.


Suggested use cases

  1. Arps decline curve regression — fit hyperbolic Arps parameters (qi, di, b) from the first 60-180 days of daily production for each well; benchmark against the ground-truth params in wells_master.csv. Strong physics signal — sample mean Arps fidelity is ~94%.
  2. 6-class forecast class classification — multi-class classifier on forecast_class from daily production + lift + pressure features.
  3. Workover candidate prediction — binary classifier on workover_candidate_flag from upstream features. Highly class-imbalanced (~3% positives), realistic for production engineering operations.
  4. Water breakthrough prediction — binary or time-to-event modeling on water_breakthrough_flag from water-cut trajectory features.
  5. ESP failure prediction — train RUL or binary failure classifier on artificial_lift.csv ESP-only rows using vibration, motor temperature, pump efficiency degradation as features.
  6. Multi-zone allocation regression — predict per-zone allocation percentages from well characteristics and zone metadata.
  7. Flow assurance type classification — 6-class classifier on flow_assurance_type from well characteristics and production conditions.
  8. Production rate forecasting — N-day-ahead time-series forecasting of oil/gas/water rates from historical features (LSTM / Transformer / TFT benchmark target).
  9. Downtime root-cause classification — 6-class classifier on root_cause_category (surface/subsurface/facility/weather/power/ unknown) from production anomaly patterns.
  10. Multi-table relational ML — entity-resolution and graph neural-network learning across the 11 joinable tables via well_id + production_date.

Loading

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("xpertsystems/oil013-sample", data_files="daily_production.csv")
print(ds["train"][0])

Or with pandas:

import pandas as pd
wells   = pd.read_csv("hf://datasets/xpertsystems/oil013-sample/wells_master.csv")
daily   = pd.read_csv("hf://datasets/xpertsystems/oil013-sample/daily_production.csv")
lift    = pd.read_csv("hf://datasets/xpertsystems/oil013-sample/artificial_lift.csv")
labels  = pd.read_csv("hf://datasets/xpertsystems/oil013-sample/production_labels.csv")

# Join daily production to wells master for asset-type / completion-type features
joined = daily.merge(wells, on="well_id")

# Join labels to daily production (monthly labels propagated to all days in month)
labels["label_date"] = pd.to_datetime(labels["label_date"])
daily["production_date"] = pd.to_datetime(daily["production_date"])

Reproducibility

All generation is deterministic via the integer seed parameter (driving both random.seed and np.random.default_rng). 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 production-engineering and decline-curve ML research, not for live production-allocation decisions. A few notes:

  1. Initial rates run higher than declared base parameter. The generator's --mean-initial-oil-rate-bopd parameter is 950 BOPD, but the actual observed mean is ~1100 BOPD because two stacked lognormal multipliers (basin profile qi_mult × per-well lognormal(0, 0.25)) compound to a multiplier mean > 1. Same pattern for GOR (declared 1450, observed ~1800). This is realistic (real production distributions have positive skew), but if you need a pure declared-target match, scale --mean-initial-oil-rate- bopd down by ~13% to compensate for the lognormal-compound bias.

  2. Anomaly and downtime injection rates are very low. The generator divides anomaly_injection_rate / 365.25 and downtime_event_rate / 365.25 to convert per-year rates to per-day probabilities. At sample defaults (3% per year, 2.2% per year), this gives 0.0001 daily probability — essentially zero anomalies in the daily timeseries (0.01% rate observed). The downtime_events.csv table is separately generated via a Poisson model and is populated (~2 events/well), so downtime ML training uses that table, not the per-day anomaly flag.

  3. Forecast class distribution is heavily skewed toward "stable" (~97%) because the simulation runs only 365 days — Arps hyperbolic decline with mean b=1.0 and di=0.23 produces only ~20-27% rate decline in year 1, which keeps most wells in the "stable" class (oil_rate ≥ 0.60 × qi). For long-horizon forecast ML, use the full product with --simulation-days 1800+ to see meaningful class diversity (steep_decline, lift_limited, water_breakthrough all populate substantially over 3-5 years).

  4. Stimulation events are extremely sparse (~1 event in 250 wells at sample scale) because the generator uses a one-time Bernoulli draw per well with combined probability ~2.4%. Full product (120K wells × 3650 days) gives ~3000 stimulation events with full event-type diversity. For workover ML at sample scale, use the workover_candidate_flag in production_labels.csv (synthesized from production patterns) rather than the literal stimulation_events table.

  5. Mass balance is exact (>99.99%) because the generator's cumulative_oil_bbl column is computed as a running sum of oil_rate_bopd. This is a property of the simulation, not a physics test — but it does confirm proper integration. Use it as sanity check, not as evidence of advanced reservoir physics.

  6. Pressure decline is linear, not exponential. The generator uses p(d) = p0 × (1 - 0.22 × d/sim_days), which is a simple linear depletion model. Real reservoirs follow material-balance- driven decline with B-factor and aquifer support — for reservoir-engineering-grade decline modeling, use SPE-PEH-Vol-V compliant tools rather than the OIL-013 pressure column.

  7. Allocation methods are uniformly weighted, not conditioned on well type or facility. Real production allocations heavily favor test-separator for low-rate wells, model-based for commingled pads, and production-logging for problem wells. Future generator v1.1 will introduce conditioning.
