Drilling Expert with Machine Learning Knowledge

What will we be working with?

[ - ] Tabular data, where each row represents a specific measurement or event, and the columns contain various drilling parameters.

[ - ] Time series - a sequence of values that flow and are measured at specific time intervals. The main characteristic that distinguishes a time series from a simple data sample is the specified measurement time or the order of changes.

[ - ] Mud Logging diagrams - graphs that visualize various drilling parameters based on time or depth.

[ - ] Unbalanced datasets refer to situations where the distribution of classes or categories of the target variable in the training dataset significantly differs (more than 10 times). In other words, one class or category dominates over the others, leading to an uneven representation of classes or categories in the data.

In the case of drilling data, this can manifest, for example, when considering the classification of well kicks. If the majority of observations in the training dataset correspond to the absence of kicks (negative class), while the observations with the occurrence of kicks (positive class) are significantly fewer, then such a dataset would be considered unbalanced.
