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
- 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%. - 6-class forecast class classification — multi-class classifier
on
forecast_classfrom daily production + lift + pressure features. - Workover candidate prediction — binary classifier on
workover_candidate_flagfrom upstream features. Highly class-imbalanced (~3% positives), realistic for production engineering operations. - Water breakthrough prediction — binary or time-to-event
modeling on
water_breakthrough_flagfrom water-cut trajectory features. - ESP failure prediction — train RUL or binary failure
classifier on
artificial_lift.csvESP-only rows using vibration, motor temperature, pump efficiency degradation as features. - Multi-zone allocation regression — predict per-zone allocation percentages from well characteristics and zone metadata.
- Flow assurance type classification — 6-class classifier on
flow_assurance_typefrom well characteristics and production conditions. - Production rate forecasting — N-day-ahead time-series forecasting of oil/gas/water rates from historical features (LSTM / Transformer / TFT benchmark target).
- Downtime root-cause classification — 6-class classifier on
root_cause_category(surface/subsurface/facility/weather/power/ unknown) from production anomaly patterns. - Multi-table relational ML — entity-resolution and graph
neural-network learning across the 11 joinable tables via
well_id+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:
Initial rates run higher than declared base parameter. The generator's
--mean-initial-oil-rate-bopdparameter is 950 BOPD, but the actual observed mean is ~1100 BOPD because two stacked lognormal multipliers (basin profileqi_mult× per-welllognormal(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- bopddown by ~13% to compensate for the lognormal-compound bias.Anomaly and downtime injection rates are very low. The generator divides
anomaly_injection_rate / 365.25anddowntime_event_rate / 365.25to convert per-year rates to per-day probabilities. At sample defaults (3% per year, 2.2% per year), this gives0.0001 daily probability — essentially zero anomalies in the daily timeseries (0.01% rate observed). Thedowntime_events.csvtable 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.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).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_flaginproduction_labels.csv(synthesized from production patterns) rather than the literal stimulation_events table.Mass balance is exact (>99.99%) because the generator's
cumulative_oil_bblcolumn is computed as a running sum ofoil_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.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.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.
