esp_operations.csv — ESP physics with VFD frequency-driven load
factor:
load_factor = (frequency_hz / 60) × (liquid_rate / 1100) efficiency = 76 − 12·|load_factor − 1.0| − 8·gas_lock − 4·scale − 3·sand + noise gas_lock_probability = sigmoid((GOR − 1800) / 550) × 0.65
Voltage centered on 2400 V (3-phase ESP motor class per ANSI C50.41
- IEEE 141), frequency 35-72 Hz (modern VFD operational envelope). The ESP frequency↔load Pearson correlation is r ≈ 0.94 in the sample — strong physics coupling validates the design.
rod_pump_operations.csv — beam pump physics per API 11L:
SPM = 5.5 + 0.005·liquid_rate − 0.014·water_cut + noise fillage = 88 − 0.018·GOR − 12·sand − 0.09·water_cut + noise fluid_pound_prob = sigmoid((62 − fillage) / 7) + noise polished_rod_load = 3500 + 1.7·depth + 6.5·liquid + noise
Fillage↔fluid pound Pearson correlation is r ≈ −0.97 — near-perfect inverse coupling per API RP-11ER physics (fluid pound is caused by incomplete pump fillage).
gas_lift_operations.csv — gas lift physics per SPE 14253:
casing_pressure = 350 + 1.05·injection_rate + noise tubing_pressure = 120 + 0.55·casing_pressure − 0.04·liquid + noise valve_depth = depth × U(0.42, 0.88) active_valves = round(depth / 2500 + noise) lift_gas_utilization = 0.86 − 0.14·|load_factor − 0.85| − 0.05·scale + noise
Active valve count averages ~4 — matches API RP-19G gas-lift completions for moderately-deep (8-12 kft) wells.
nodal_analysis.csv — IPR-VFP intersection point per SPE 174021
nodal analysis convention. Sample mean nodal balance error is ~1.85% —
well below the 5% production-grade target for IPR-VFP equilibrium
models.
power_consumption.csv — power-factor-corrected 3-phase electrical
metrics:
kW = lift_specific_base + lift_specific_coefficient · liquid_rate + noise amperage = kW × 1000 / (√3 × voltage × power_factor)
Voltage is lift-type stratified per ANSI C50.41: ESP 2400V (HV motor class), Gas Lift 480V (LV instrumentation/controls), Rod Pump 480V (LV prime mover).

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 artificial-lift ML research, not for live lift optimization decisions. A few notes:
Risk-grade distribution skews toward "low" and "medium" — the sample has ~77% low / ~23% medium / 0% high risk-grade labels. The "high" threshold (risk ≥ 0.70) requires a confluence of high corrosion + high scale + high sand + old install age, which is rare in the Beta-distributed sample at this scale. The full product (120K wells × 90 days) generates enough tail wells to populate the "high" class. For ML at sample scale, use
failure_risk_scoreas a continuous regression target rather than the 3-class label.Failure events are rare (~6% of wells produce a failure event in the 60-day window). This matches real-world artificial-lift reliability (annual ESP failure rates ~10-20%, gas lift ~5-10%, rod pump ~15-25% per SPE 174021 / Rystad data). For class- balanced ML training, oversample positive cases or use the continuous
failure_risk_scorecolumns inesp_operations,rod_pump_operations,equipment_health, andartificial_lift_ labels.Two distinct failure-risk-score scales coexist. Time-series tables (esp / rod_pump / equipment_health) use a sigmoid model centered around ~0.03 mean (per-timestep instantaneous risk). The labels table uses an additive index averaging ~0.34 mean (well-aggregated lifetime risk). These are not the same metric — they're computed differently and serve different ML purposes (instantaneous detection vs lifetime prognosis). Don't mix them in a single regression target.
All voltage in
power_consumption.csvis lift-type stratified only by class, not by well-specific motor sizing. Real ESP installations use 2300V / 3300V / 4160V depending on motor HP and depth — the sample uses N(2400, 180) for all ESP wells. For motor-sizing ML, condition the voltage feature on depth and liquid rate.The optimization_recommendations table is uniformly sampled, not tied to specific underlying conditions. Real production engineering recommends specific interventions based on observed symptoms (high gas lock → reduce frequency, high fluid pound → reduce SPM). For optimization ML, treat this table as label- only and engineer features from the operations tables.
Production decline is linear-on-time (
depletion = 1 - 0.22 × t/n_steps), not Arps-driven. For decline-curve ML, use OIL-013 (which implements full Arps hyperbolic decline). OIL-014 focuses on lift-system optimization and instantaneous performance, not long-horizon decline.Sample-scale ESP class is over-represented vs the global declared 42/33/25 mix. Sample observed 44/21/35 (ESP/Gas Lift/ Rod Pump). The basin-class conditioning produces this because the sample's basin draws favor unconventional/tight/heavy oil classes (which favor rod pump and ESP), giving fewer Gas Lift wells than declared. The full product (120K wells) gives the declared 42/33/25 split with basin-conditioning preserved.
