Abstract: With the rise of deep learning in recent years, machine learning has been further developed in the oil and gas field. However, due to the particularity and complexity of the oil and gas industry, there is no training sample base suitable for deep learning, nor a targeted model establishment and selection method system. In addition, the uninterpretability of methods such as deep learning leads to the high dependence of learning models on the environment, which restricts the popularization and application of machine learning in the oil and gas industry. Starting from the development stage of machine learning, this paper introduces the major breakthroughs and problems in the application of machine learning in various fields of oil and gas industry. Then, suggestions are given on the processing methods and sample building of different types of data in the oil and gas industry, and how to carry out model adaptability analysis, etc. Finally, the development potential and research direction of machine learning in oil and gas artificial intelligence are proposed.

Key words: artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, oil and gas industry, review
