K-Means clustering is a popular unsupervised machine learning algorithm that is commonly used in the exploratory data analysis phase of a project. It groups data together into clusters based on similarities within the data. In this tutorial, we will go through the basics of running a k-means algorithm on well log data.

My Medium article this video is based on. Check it out as it contains more examples and extra plots.
