Prediction of TOC Content in Organic-Rich Shale Using Machine Learning Algorithms: Comparative Study of Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and XGBoost

The total organic carbon (TOC) content of organic-rich shale is a key parameter in screening for potential source rocks and sweet spots of shale oil/gas. Traditional methods of determining the TOC content, such as the geochemical experiments and the empirical mathematical regression method, are eith...
