Oil & Gas Analytics Revolution with Dataraft
Predictive Maintenance, Porosity Estimation, Well Performance, and Integrated Asset Optimization with Dataraft
Oil & Gas generates petabytes from seismic, logs, SCADA, OBD, and production reports - but translating into decisions requires PhDs or months of work. Dataraft delivers no-code analytics tailored for upstream, midstream, and downstream, turning raw data into production gains, maintenance savings, and optimized CAPEX.

1. Predictive Maintenance: Equipment + Pipelines
Upstream: Mud pumps, compressors, turbines on drilling rigs/production platforms.
Midstream: Storage terminals, custody transfer points.
Downstream: Fractionating towers, hydrotreaters.
Dataraft Approach:
SCADA/PLC Data (vibration, RPM, thermodynamics)
+ Telemetry (pipeline pressure/flow)
↓
Anomaly Detection (Isolation Forest, Z-score)
↓
Pattern Matching vs. Healthy Baselines
↓
Predictive Alerts + Pigging Targets
Real Results:
Compressor Loading: Vibration + RPM → Failure prediction 7–14 days early.
Pipeline Pigging: Pressure/flow deviations pattern-matched to locate blockages.
ROI: 25–35% maintenance cost reduction by replacing calendar-based schedules.
2. Porosity Estimation from Neutron/Thermal Neutron Logs (85% Accuracy)
The Problem: Coring for porosity validation requires tripping pipe and lab analysis under in-situ conditions - expensive and slow.
Dataraft ML Classification:
Predictors: Neutron counts (NPHI, CNTC), Thermal Neutron (CFTC, TNRA)
Target: NPOR (Measured Porosity)
Models: XGBoost, Random Forest → 85% accuracy on unseen data
Reservoir Insights:
Porosity Distribution:
• 50–75% section: 9–14% porosity
• High-pay streaks: Up to 27%
Decision Rules Generated:
if CFTC < 3996 AND CNTC < 5041 AND TNRA > 1.29 → NPOR = 1% (Poor)
if CFTC < 3996 AND CNTC < 5041 AND TNRA < 1.29 → NPOR = 5%+ (Desired)
Scatter Insights: NPOR inversely proportional to far-neutron counts; thermal neutron porosity directly proportional—physics validated.
3. Well Performance Analysis & Artificial Lift Optimization
The Challenge: Wells evolve—natural flow → artificial lift (ESP, gas lift, rod pumps). Wrong ALS choice kills production; physical models don't capture dynamic conditions.
Dataraft Well Analytics:
5 Wells × Multi-Year Data:
DaysOld, AvgWHT (Wellhead Temp), AvgChokeSize, AvgWHP (Wellhead Pressure)
↓
Predict BOPD (Barrels Oil Per Day)
↓
What-If: "Optimize choke for Well 14H?"
Key Findings:
Production Distribution (Boxplot):
• Mean 2x Median → Few super-producers, many average/poor wells
Top Predictors (50% Power):
1. DaysOld (35%)
2. AvgWHT (8%)
3. AvgChokeSize (4%)
4. AvgWHP (3%)
Actionable Rules:
if ChokeSize 60–98 AND WHP < 38 AND DaysOld 429–921 → High Production
if ChokeSize < 9 AND WHP < 38 → Poor Production
Well 14H Intervention: Early production hiccups traced to choke restriction—optimized post-analysis.

4. Integrated Asset Management: Reservoir → Production → Refining
Vision: Replace siloed analysis with end-to-end optimization across the value chain.
Dataraft Architecture (with GE iFIX, Hortonworks, Azure):
Seismic + Logs + PTA + Production Data
↓
Big Data Ingestion (Hadoop/Spark)
↓
ML Surrogates Replace Mechanistic Simulators
↓
Integrated Optimization (Drilling → Field Dev → Refinery)
Upstream Examples:
Sweet Spot ID: Seismic + logs → Optimum drilling locations.
Field Development: Reservoir + drilling + production → Phased plans.
Downstream:
Refinery Yield: FCC, distillation economics + demand trends → Optimal crude slate.
5. Midstream Preventive Maintenance (Real Deployment)
Client: Midstream O&G operator treating natural gas/liquids.
Dataraft Solution:
Minute-Level Data (45 Wells) → OSI PI Server → MSSQL
↓
Outlier Handling + Dynamic Thresholds
↓
PowerApps/PowerBI Dashboards (Role-Based)
↓
Automated Alerts + Water Chemistry Correlation
Business Wins:
Processing: 45 wells' minute data in <3 minutes
Visualization: Pressure, flow, filter performance
Savings: Proactive failure alerts → Optimized maintenance
