The duration spent on drilling is an essential element to be taken into account when exploring any hydrocarbon field as it is a direct reflection of the money spent. This article looks into Non-Performing Time events by discussing it from the sub-surface and surface scenarios, based on the analysis performed in 5 wells of the Volve Oilfield. ...

The license conditions of the Volve Oilfield dataset: What’s in there for you?
The license governing the Volve oil field dataset strongly influences its the outreach and potential applications. The dataset was initially released under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license that prevented commercial use of the dataset and mandated all derivative material to be open-source, non commercial. Essentially, the dataset was supposed to be used exclusively by the open academia, and not for commercial entities. This license agreement was criticized by the community. ...
Navigating Well log formats in the Volve Oilfield data with the Welly library
Petrophysical data of the Volve data is available in the Well_logs folder of the dataset. The data is available as raw and processed well log data files along with interpretation reports. We will be using the Welly Python Library to import and process the Well logs. A newer well log format - the JSON well log - will used to instead of the other formats
