Applying data mining to the geosciences data

The article detailedly addresses the features of the petrophysical data, logging data, seismic data and geological data based on the concepts of the data mining. The mining ideas regarding the petrophysical and logging data, seismic data and geological data are made based on their features. The article uses different mining ways to process the corresponding data, and describes the results from the perspective of the functions of data mining. According to the data mining techniques, the petrophysical data are applied to find the relations and forecast reservoirs; the logging data will be employed to evaluate the fuzzy reservoirs and recognize the effective reservoirs in complicated geological conditions; the space mining results of the 3D seismic data; the charts and text mining results of the geological data. The oil and natural gas data mining in the exploration adopts the methods of data analysis and the corresponding mathematical model to process the exploration data, and get the potential information. It has realized the purpose that the data guide exploration and given the concept of data exploration.
