Formation prediction is important for understanding subsurface structures and making better reservoir models.
Traditionally, geologists define formation boundaries using core samples and cutting descriptions. However, this
method can be subjective and may lead to inconsistent results between wells. To solve this, machine learning is
used in this study to classify formations based on well log data. Two types of machine learning methods are
applied: supervised and unsupervised. Supervised learning uses labeled data to train a model, while unsupervised
learning looks for patterns in data without labels. Five well log features (GR, NPHI, RHOB, PEF, and DT) are
used in supervised models, and three features (GR, NPHI, RHOB) are used in unsupervised models. The Random
Forest model achieved the highest F1-score (0.9090), followed by XGBoost and Decision Tree. Agglomerative
Clustering gave the best result among unsupervised methods with a silhouette score of 0.5243. These results show
that supervised learning is better for formation prediction, while unsupervised learning helps to understand hidden
patterns in the data.
