Core-based rock typing is limited by the sparse availability of core data, whereas well logs are recorded
continuously along the wellbore. This study evaluates whether unsupervised machine learning applied to
well logs can reproduce a core-derived petrophysical rock type reference in the 'X' field, Central Sumatra
Basin. A reference was built from 85 routine core analysis (RCAL) samples using the RQI–????z–FZI–DRT
framework, and the eight original DRT classes were lumped into four hydraulic-flow-unit (HFU)-derived
rock types (RT1 – RT4). Four unsupervised methods: K-Means, FCM, GMM, and MRGC, were applied to
five standardized log features (GR, DT, SP, RHOB_STD, and a harmonized deep resistivity proxy,
RES_DEEP) from three wells, with all core-derived variables excluded to prevent data leakage. The clusters
were mapped using the Hungarian algorithm and evaluated per well and for all wells combined. GMM gave
the best combined agreement (accuracy 42.35%, ARI 0.0367), but the per well results were weak (near
random in the most sampled well (WS-002) and collapsed to a single rock type in WS-004) indicating that
the available conventional logs only partially reproduce the HFU-derived rock types.
