    Title: Data Science Applications to Time-Series Data A Hydraulic Fracturing Case Study
    When: Wednesday, January 26, 2022 (11AM Pacific)
    Where: Online via Zoom
    Meeting Registration: Zoom Meeting - SPEGGS January 2022 Registration

    Abstract

    Data science uses algorithms and statistics to generate knowledge and insights from data. While Oil and Gas has, at times, been at the forefront of large-scale data analysis, it has struggled with implementing data science more broadly. Some of the challenges our industry faces include poor quality and siloed data, archaic data management processes, and the lack of collaboration between data scientists and subject matter experts (engineers/geoscientists).

    The applications for machine learning and data science are boundless but knowing where to start can be daunting. How do you design, prototype, and deploy models to critical end-users? Using a lean start-up approach taken from real-world experiences, this talk provides a starting point to help organizations successfully plan, implement, and launch a data science program. Data science applications to hydraulic fracturing data will be used to showcase these effective workflows and best practices. The workflows shown in this presentation can be applied to other time-series or depth datasets that exist in the industry (drilling, logging, production data, etc.). Participants will walk away with an understanding of best practices around data science and learn how to leverage efforts to gain valuable insights from time-series data.

    Next Meeting

    Our next meeting will be on Feb. 14 at 11 am Pacific time. The speaker is an SPE DL, Tom Bradley. He will talk about Application of Oil and Gas Subsurface Evaluation Methodology to Geothermal: The Value of Data. Stay tuned for our meeting notice.
