Scientific Journal of Earth Science June 2015, Volume 5, Issue 2, PP.33-40 Data Mining in Petroleum Upstream ——The Use of Regression and Classification Algorithms Dawei Li#, Guangren Shi Research Institute of Petroleum Exploration Development, PetroChina, Beijing 100083, China Email: leedw@ Abstract Data mining (DM) technique has seen enormous successes in some fields, but its application to petroleum upstream (PUP) is still at initial stage, as PUP is quite different from the other fields in many aspects. The most popular DM algorithms in PUP are regression and classification. Through many DM applications to PUP, we have found that: a) the preferable algorithm for regression is back-propagation neural network (BPNN), the next are regression of support vector machine (R-SVM) and multiple regression analysis (MRA), and the preferable algorithm for classification is classification of support vector machine (C-SVM), the next is Bayesian successive discrimination (BAYSD); b) C-SVM can also be applied in data cleaning; c) both MRA and BAYSD can also be applied in dimension-reduction, and BAYSD is preferable one; d) R-mode cluster analysis (RCA) can be applied in dimension-reduction, while Q-mode cluster analysis (QCA) can be applied in sample-reduction. A case study in PUP indicates that R-SVM, BPNN and MRA are not applicable for regression, whereas C-SVM is applicable for classification in this case.

For example, there are about 50 large information systems that have been built in PetroChina, and there are about 590TB PUP data and 280000 wells’ structured data in only one of them. At present, the major applications of PUP data in these information systems are only information storage and inquiry, which is far away from fully utilizing the value
