DEVELOPMENT OF TREE-BASED ENSEMBLE LEARNING ALGORITHMS FOR ESTIMATING TOTAL ORGANIC CARBON FROM WIRELINE LOGS

To evaluate the hydrocarbon generation potential of a rock strata, total organic carbon (TOC) is a significant factor. TOC estimation is considered as a challenge from well logs and direct measurement in laboratory from rock specimens is costly and time-consuming. Therefore, due to the complex and n...
