Well Log Application in Source Rock Evaluation: Using Committee Machine with Intelligent Systems

Source rock evaluation consists of assessing the hydrocarbon generating potential of sediments by looking at the sediment's capacity for hydrocarbon generation, type of organic matter present and what hydrocarbons might be generated, and the sediment's thermal maturity and how it has influenced generation. From this, it is possible to begin answering questions about if, how much, what kind, and when hydrocarbon generation has occurred.
