Disciplines: Data Science and Engineering Analytics | Health, Safety, Environment, and Sustainability | Reservoir

Course Description

Machine learning is a growing field in technology companies, and more recently, in the Oil and Gas industry companies and research groups. This course focuses on the data preparation and machine learning application on different case of study examples:

Introduction to Data Science in Python and R

Predicting mass of oil (regression)

• Data analysis
• Data cleaning
• Linear regression
• Gradient boosting regressor
• Interpretation

Facies classification

• Data analysis
• Data imputation
• Feature engineering
• Logistic regression (imbalanced data)
• Gradient boosting classifier (imbalanced data)

Severe injuries analysis and predictions (HSE)

• Natural language processing
• TF-IDF
• Reports classification

Deep Learning

• Introduction to Tensorflow
• Image segmentation for salt identification in seismic sessions

Learning Objectives

• Python programming: tips for machine learning modeling
• R programming: data analysis and visualization
• Data preparation: how the data must be processed prior to modeling to improve product outcome
• Machine learning: learning the most popular ML packages for python, such as Pandas, Scikit-Learn, Tensorflow, among others
• Interpretation of the model used, and how to choose the most appropriate model for each case

Why Attend

Data science and machine learning are growing fields that have applications in any type of industry and has shown to improve the profit of companies that implement a data science group in them. Recently, companies from the Oil&Gas industry are starting to get on board of this new tendency and are creating and implementing new technologies with the help of machine learning algorithms. Demand for data scientists is increasing every year as new methods are required on each industry.

Who Attends

Oil and Gas professionals that are interested on learning how to apply machine learning methods in their projects and/or workflow, and that already have some experience in Python programming.

Special Requirements

• Basic knowledge in Python and R programming.
• A laptop with Python and R installed to run codes is recommended but not mandatory.
